Still in the beginning of 2026, OnePlus stores the HDR photos in a prorietary ProXDR format, which is not supported by the Android Instagram app. That is why you only see HDR photos on IG taken by iPhone, Samsung and Google phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to upload HDR photos from a OnePlus phone into Instagram, use this workaround (verified 6th of January 2026):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Login to Instagram with the Android Chrome web browser (not the Instagram app!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Set the browser in desktop mode<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. When posting a new photo, do not select it as a photo from the photo selector, but open the three dots menu from upper right corner, select “Browse…”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Browse into “OnePlus 12 > DCIM > Camera” (choose the hamburger menu from top left corner to see the filesystem hierarchy)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Select the JPG file from there<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Select original image ratio (the brackets-in-corners button), do not modify, enhance or filter the photo in any way<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If it doesn’t work, make sure the photos are stored in JPEG format (this is what I have and I haven’t tried with any other settings combination):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Under “Formats”, disable “10-bit colour” and “High efficiency image”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Make sure the phone camera settings have “Auto HDR” enabled<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
