How to receive my text photos as JPEG not HEIC

Hi I have started receiving photos in text messages as HEIC files and I cannot open them. If they are sent in messenger I can?? How do I change them back in text messages so I can view.

iPhone 11, 16

If you would like your iPhone to save photos in standard Jpeg format then do the following-

Go To Settings ➡️ Camera ➡️ Formats and then Select Most Compatible

Hope that helps.
