Overview
- Instagram confirmed a technical issue that made some HDR photos appear in black and white for a subset of accounts.
- The company said it has rolled out a fix and that affected posts will automatically return to their original color within hours.
- User reports indicated the problem started earlier than the company’s public statement, with complaints surfacing over the weekend.
- The issue came from how the app handled high dynamic range (HDR) images during upload rather than from phone cameras or individual accounts.
- Reporters suggested a temporary safeguard for iPhone users by turning off Auto HDR in Settings to avoid triggering new HDR-related glitches.
