It will only convert photos that you now take, it will not (and never has) convert existing heic photos to jpg.

Format for the photos I am wondering why my phone will switch format between HEIC and JPG for pictures taken within minute of each other. And why JPG but not JPEG

14. Promax won’t save photos as.jpg. I’m not exactly sure when this happened but I think sometime during the past two or three updates. iPhone 14 Pro. Max won’t save photos as.JPG. I have chosen most compatible more times than I can count. It’s on most compatible now and still they show up in iMessages & everywhere else as .HEIc Can anybody offer any suggestions?

It appears that iPhone X has uploaded my photos in new file format. How can I fix all the wrong file formats? Without much thought the genius at APPLE have changed the photo formats to be now incompatible with NORMAL human use. Since I uploaded the new photos to my Mac Computer and none are useable.. HOW can I fix this? Really silly to keep making your products incompatible with NORMAL human use!
