I was looking at a faq from a photo editing app. It had an answer for people having a problem with. PNG files in iOS. It says to go to settings>photos>optimization. Change that setting to "save originals" from "optimize photos" (which saves drive space, but can change the type of photo file).

I am attaching the screenshot of the faq I read, so you can make your own decision. You can always switch back to the optimization setting. I assume that anything already optimized will stay optimized, but new items might stay as transparent PNG's.

*I am not a specialist by any means, so please make your own choices.
