try this:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Go to Settings > Camera > Formats.
3. Select Most Compatible, and you are done. All future images or videos
you take will now be saved in JPEG.
(taken from
https://www.laptopmag.com/features/a-guide-to-heic-files-on-iphone-and-other-apple-devices)
the files will be larger so if you take a lot of photos and have a small
memory capacity, you might want to find ways to save space/delete
unwanted/etc.
I'm surprised it's still a thing but something in this chain may not be
reading the photos in HEIC format (the article has details about which
OSs support them)

Thanks, Jason. On this occasion I was simply taking photos on iPhone
from
within iMessage (ie, in the conversation, instead of typing I tap the
small
camera button and take and send inline).
Then when looking at same conversation on Messages Mac, just get
unopenable
thumbnails?!

I suspect this is the HEIC (or not) settings. How are you getting
them
*into* iMessage? Presumably they're arriving like that too?

Friends
I've asked before but never got too far so trying again.
Why in sending some photos in Messages (iMessage, not SMS) do they
appear
as per the attached image on macOS (latest iOS and macOS)
I can't find any setting and it's jolly irritating.
