Super HDR, or you can also call it Ultra HDR, aims to offer a better immersive experience while shooting and viewing photos and videos. It has become prominent in the Android world since the launch of Android 14 and is now one of a number of increasingly essential features, starting with the flagship.
For so long, leaks and rumors have been teasing Samsung’s fan community that Super HDR is on their flagship Galaxy device’s way. This technology is designed to fully exploit the potential of compatible HDR displays, improving the visual quality of images, notably not only in the default applications but also on many social platforms like Instagram.
The Super HDR permits you to capture images with exceptional detail in both the brightest and darkest scenarios. This feature will help you capture more lifelike images with vibrant colors that accurately reflect the real scene with more vivid colors that bounce reality.
Currently, Super HDR is integrated into the Google and Samsung Gallery apps. On the other side, the Korean giant is actively aiming to take it a step further by bringing Super HDR support to social media apps such as Instagram. This suggests that users can potentially see upgraded photo quality and will offer the experience of being ready to upload photos to those apps from their Samsung phone.
It appears that the Galaxy S24 series could be the first to benefit from this feature, gradually expanding support to more recent models. The aim behind this is to redefine the standard of image quality in photography applications and social networks. Another feature that the Korean giant is close to announcing is the ability to turn off Super HDR, allowing users to have more freedom in customizing display settings.

Samsung has recently rolled out a new update for the secure folder, which aims to provide some minor changes in the applications. As it doesn’t bring any specific changelog with it, it may provide some improvement to the functioning of the application, but due to some lack of testing or misalignment, the update makes the secure folder stop functioning.
The secure folder is one of the crucial features of the Galaxy device, which allows users to keep their private stuff in a separate space from the other files. But after the update, several users are facing the issue where the secure folder is unable to open.
However, without wasting time, a Samsung official has confirmed that the issue has been reviewed and also reported the reason behind it.
According to the moderator, the issue is occurring due to the latest changes applied through Google Policies related to account management with Family Link, which offers a feature for parents to control their children’s digital activities, and with the recent software, the use of secure folders has been restricted.
So if you are logged in with a child’s account under the Family link, you will not be able to use secure Folder again, so if you want to use the functionality again, then you need to sign in with your regular Google account instead of the child’s account.
