The users of the new iPhone 11 have been a good surprise. In the last few hours, the option to view YouTube videos in HDR  has been activated  on these devices, automatically and without the user having to do anything. It is a great option to take advantage of the full potential of one of the best mobile screens on the market.

Take advantage of your iPhone screen with YouTube videos in HDR: The new iPhone 11 can now play YouTube videos in HDR

One of the multimedia content that is most consumed from the smartphone is YouTube. Therefore, it is not enough to have a good screen on the mobile, the app must also give us compatibility with certain technologies, in this case, with HDR.

Despite the fact that the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max have HDR on their screen, until now this type of content could not be played on the smartphone. Now  the app has been updated so that the option to play in HDR is available. This brings improvements in color, contrast and blacks, with deeper and brighter hues.

To activate this resolution you do not have to do anything. In an HDR video it will be activated automatically, but we recommend that, by clicking on the three dots in the upper right area, you check if you are watching it in the maximum resolution.

Why can’t I put HDR on a video if I have an iPhone 11?

It is possible that after reading this article you are trying to watch YouTube videos in HDR but you can’t. This is because most of the traditional channels do not upload content with this technology. To do a test, we recommend that you look directly in the YouTube search engine for  HDR videos to see the difference in image quality.

If you do not have automatic updates activated, you can update YouTube manually from the App Store .
