Iphone randomly saved pics as .heic when most compatible is checked off. How can I prevent this in future? Phone is updated to latest software. Sometimes it happens within minutes of saving pic as .jpg.

The screenshot that you posted does not seem to be from an iPhone. Any report from a third-party app or a third-party device cannot be validated here in this forum.


If you encounter any challenges with third-party applications, the best course of action is to directly contact the app developer for further assistance. Here's a brief guide on how to do it:


  1. Identify the app developer.
  2. Visit their website or app store listing.
  3. Look for their contact information or support channels.
  4. Clearly describe the issue you are facing.
  5. Provide any necessary information they may need.
  6. Follow their instructions and provide feedback.
  7. Be patient and follow up if needed.


By reaching out to the app developer, you increase your chances of receiving accurate and personalized support for the challenges you're experiencing. To contact an App developer --> How to contact an app developer - Apple Support
