This is a high compression file format and saves you storage space on your phone. BUT the file format is not free, you may be able to view it on your phone, but on a computer you are required to buy a licence to view the photos. It is only $1.45 and you only have to buy it once, but that is per device. So if you share your photos with someone they also will have to buy a licence to view them. A simple solution is to turn this feature off in your phones camera settings. Just un-tick the option and any new photos will be saved as JPG a format that anyone can view free. Depending on your phone It will say ‘Capture as High efficiency / Most compatible’ or simply turn off HEIF Pictures. Looking for Expert IT Services?
