Open HEIC Images on Android Phone

[boiesjcp]

My wife sent me a couple of images shot on iPhone ended with .heic. My S7 seems not recognizing this type of things. How can open the photos on my Android?

Not possible. Your wife needs to change the iPhone settings back to jpeg

Either use https://heictojpg.com/ to convert them to .jpg, or tell her to convert them to .jpg before sending them to you (Or she can choose "Most Compatible" in her camera app settings).

Since it's an open standard (developed my the MPEG), there's already one Android app for it - Luma.
