Emailed photos are dark.

iPhone 14 plus. IOS version 27.0.1


Since the last update, my photos turn dark when I email them. I've looked for solutions, but it would seem that none work for my particular phone, as I can't find the option to change the Smart HDR setting. I email photos daily and it's driving me crazy. It's only been happening since the last update. The photos turn dark as soon as I click the email button. I use the Gmail app to email them. Is there a fix for this?

I’ve seen this too and cases beyond emailed photos, but have not tested again on macOS 27.2 and iOS 27.2, etc.
