iOS 26 beta gets HDR screen recording
HDR screenshots are particularly valuable for capturing high-contrast content, such as bright app interfaces against dark backgrounds, HDR videos, and detailed photos. The enhanced dynamic range preserves details that are usually lost in standard screenshots. This makes HDR screenshots ideal for sharing visual content or for accurately documenting app interfaces.
How to enable HDR screenshots
The following steps show you how to switch from standard to HDR screenshot capture:
- Open Settings on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap General.
- Tap Screen Capture.
- Under "Format," tap HDR.
To return to the standard screenshot capture, select SDR (Most Compatible) in the "Format" section of the settings menu.
