If you have an iPhone and you use the Photos app to save photos in HEIC format, then you may be at risk of losing some of your photos if Apple decides to update its software. If you’re not sure whether or not your iPhone is using HEIC format, there’s a good chance it is. The Photos app will show a photo in HEIC format if it was taken with an iPhone 6 or later model and if the camera has been updated to support HEIC. However, if your iPhone doesn’t support HEIC format, then you may still lose some of your photos if Apple decides to update its software. If that’s the case for you, here are a few tips on how to stop iPhone from saving photos in HEIC format:

  1. Make sure that your phone is up-to-date with the latest security patches. This will help protect your data from being compromised by any malware or vulnerabilities.
  2. Disable iCloud Photo Library on your device. This will stop iCloud from saving any photos in HEIC format to your device. You can do this by going into Settings > iCloud > General and selecting “disable.”
  3. Use another storage option for all of your photos other than iCloud Drive. This will help keep all of your photos safe and sound even if iCloud decides to save them inHEIC format again in the future.
