Lightroom for iOS lets me edit in HDR (although I have to use the macOS app if I want to merge bracketed shots). I haven't figured out how to show the results to anyone else on iOS, though:
HDR is a bit of a lonely experience. It is frustrating that the one format properly supported by iOS (HEIC) is not an export format for Lightroom.
Does anyone have a reasonable solution to share HDR images with friends?

Specifically, the section "Other apps" mentioned more recent versions of Chrome (v116 or newer) will support AVIF. I do not believe that includes Chrome on Mobile yet. If you look at the help pages index while this page above is loaded, you will see supplemental pages for Lightroom iOS and Android.

Thanks for the help page. I've read that, but I was hoping there was something I'd missed. As you said, Chrome on mobile doesn't support HDR, so that's a non-starter. Even if it did, it isn't reasonable to ask most people to install a browser to view an image.
