    Because phones (at least iPhone) decide themselves, if the photo is exported in jpg or HEIC codec based on targeted destination.

        Every photo I take on my android is and has been Jpg out the box…? Granted I’ve only had 3, but they all do Jpg. This is the first I’ve even heard of heic files.

        Yea, never said that it would not be like that, and I assume that android as well, tries to find out on it’s own, if it can send the pic as heic to the desired destination, or if has to convert it on the fly to something like jpg in order fir stuff to work

        I just don’t know if that is the case, that is why I specified, that I only know it for iPhone

          It does not. All pictures on my phone are .heic unless manually changed or Raw, there is no automatic conversion when trying to upload them somewhere.
