It’s a 32 year old format that makes pictures worse in order to save space. A lot changes in the tech works in 30 years. While there may be nothing inherently wrong with it, there’s far better image encoding algorithms these days that can store images in less space without reducing the quality as much.
Exactly. Android’s default image format is HEIC as well. Jpeg is outdated and needs to die already.
And today I learned that HEIC is not a proprietary Apple format
All my default photos are jpg. What’s wrong with that?
JPG is not bad, but it uses more storage space for the same quality compared to HEIC/HEIF

I had my phone taking photos in HEIC for a couple months. i ended up switching back to .JPG because both signal and whatsapp stuggled with it
