Why are my photos downloading as HEIC files instead of JPEG from iCloud? My photos are automatically uploaded to iCloud from my phone. When I download from iCloud they are HEIC files instead of JPEG as they used to be. This is not convenient to then use the photo in other ways. Why did this change and how can it be changed back to download as JPEG?
