There was a recent update to the Google Camera app. They now call it the Pixel Camera.Version 9.2.113.585804376.14 I received the update on 2023-12-07.

The most notable change is that the HDR brightness/shadow & temperature (color balance) controls are no longer shown on either side of the screen. There is now an icon below the image (to the right of the photo/video toggle).
