iPhone X: Where did the HDR option go?

iPhone X: Where did the HDR option go?


Yesterday I took the iPhone X out to shoot some pictures. As with the iPhone 8, I like the camera a lot. But I'm still working on my final review.

When reviewing the pictures on the new OLED-screen I noticed something I hadn‘t on the iPhone 8. In the camera app, the HDR-option is gone. And HDR is always on.

Don‘t get me wrong. I like HDR. Just not always and without the possibility to easily turn it off. Luckily there is an option hidden in settings/camera. To get full control over the HDR-function back, turn Auto HDR off.
