All questions / iPhone camera

Why do my iPhone videos look too bright or washed out in other apps?

Short answeriPhones record HDR (Dolby Vision) video by default on recent models. Some apps and screens don’t handle HDR well. You can turn HDR Video off in Settings › Camera › Record Video.

If videos look fine on your iPhone but strange elsewhere, HDR is the usual reason.
