Hi guys, I'm wondering why all my photo that i taken has no tagged like "HDR" on my iPhone XS Max?

Unlike the
iPhone X and 8 plus there's a tagged on their photos "HDR" when u Open/View the Image?. Is that normal on iPhone XS Max that it has no "HDR" tagged on the upper left side of the photos?
 
Beginning with the XS/XR, Apple introduced "Smart HDR" - it's always on (unless you turn it off in Settings), so all pictures are now HDR (hence no sticker)

Not entirely correct. If a photo is HDR, it will show HDR. All photos are not HDR by default. I have it on and the save “non HDR” photo option. My photos show HDR in the top left.

The "save non HDR" option is gone. You can switch Smart HDR on and off and that's it.
 
Yep, probably due to Deep Fusion indeed. They are moving towards a lot more AI doing the work, one day I’m sure Smart HDR will not even have a switch, it will all be automatic.
We're almost there, as it comes on by default. Who needs to turn it off anyway?

So if i turn on the "Keep Normal Photos" i will get the "HDR" sticker on my Photos?

PS: Is it better to keep turn ON the "Keep Normal Photos" instead?
