It's for the camera, not the browser, and it looks like you can change back to h.264 and JPG [1]:
> If you’re currently running iOS 11 beta 1, you can verify this by switching between the High Efficiency and Most Compatible formats under iOS Settings → Camera → Formats. Under the High Efficiency format, images will be saved as HEIC and movies as an HEVC .mov file. Under Most Compatible, images will be saved as JPGs and movies as an h.264 .mov file.

- discreditable 9y agoIt seems unfortunate that photos shared from iOS will be subject to an extra step of lossy compression in order to go to JPG.
- jakelazaroff 9y agoHEIC and HEVC are both lossless, so there shouldn't be an extra step of lossy compression.
- ac29 9y agoHEVC is definitely not lossless.
- discreditable 9y agoThey may have lossless modes but I'd bet money iOS is not using them. The file size would be huge even compared to JPEG.
