Some Samsung users have reported an issue where text in photos appears with a shadow when viewed in the Gallery app. This issue makes it harder to read or view certain images clearly. It is mainly affecting Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition users.
Notably, this text shadow issue occurs on Samsung devices when the Super HDR (High Dynamic Range) feature is enabled, particularly with high-resolution images (50MP/200MP) containing text on bright backgrounds.

To check the update, open Settings >> Software Update >> Download and Install option. Keep an eye out for the software update notification, and make sure to install it as soon as it becomes available.
