Airdrop : HEIC instead of JPEG

Hi, When I airdrop my pictures they are now under a HEIC format and I would like to change it because .JPEG is more convenient.

Thank you

iPhone 8, iOS 12

iPhones now take images in HEIC, as it is much more efficient for the quality. However, if you prefer JPEG, and don't mind using up some extra space, you can configure your iPhone to take images in JPEG format. To do this, go to settings, then click "Camera", the "Formats". From this menu, select "Most Compatible". This will cause your iPhone to take images in JPEG (H.264) format instead of HEIC (HEVC) format.
