HEIC pictures

Apparently ever since a recent update, photos are being sent in the HEIC format. Totally useless. Most people can’t open this. How do I stop my phone from doing this and be able to send it in JPEG again? I googled it and it tells me to reset my phone which I’m not going to do. It also tells me to check my camera settings and it should be on compatibility which it is. Any other thoughts?

iPhone 11, iOS 16
