I'm assuming it worked;)
Yeah, it's always the way with bringing in improvements – can leave
behind otherwise working systems, but if we didn't, we would all be
using floppy disks (I bet they would have got them holding at least 20mb
by now)
Do turn it off again one day when you've upgraded your hardware. HEIC is
much much more efficient.

Thank you so much, Jason.
Hugely helpful and appreciated. Would have assumed macOS Messages
could
read/show that format inline (as in Photos App can solve it) but
doubtless
more technical than I'll ever understand.
Thanks again

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.
