    Ultra HDR is a new image format available with Android 14 on supported devices & camera. Basically it’s a JPEG image but some additional data added to it when captured on supported devices. With ultra HDR, images can have darker shadows and brighter highlights.

    I thought the same thing at first, but it sounds like it is just that you can now view the “Ultra HDR”-ness within the app.

    Also,

    Google Messages doesn’t strip the gain map metadata from images

      Yeah I guess it probably strips unknown data segments from the file for security and privacy, and it would have a whitelist of segment types it will keep

      And of course the ability to display them with ultra HDR
