This has actually been a huge annoyance for me (an Android user). My wife (an iOS user) and I both use Google Photos, and we automatically can see each other's photos in our respective libraries through the `shared libraries` feature.
Her photos are all HEIF. My photos are all JPG. The Google Photos app on Android may be just about the _only_ Android app I've encountered that knows how to handle HEIF - which means any time I try to share one of my wife's photos to social media or a messaging app, it simply doesn't work. I have to convert them to JPGs on my own.
- djrogers 8y agoDoesn't Google Photos have an option to convert them automatically? iOS has an option to do that for any exports it does natively (sms, messages, airdrop, USB transfer etc).

- LeoPanthera 8y agoI don’t understand this comment. Google Photos doesn’t support HEIF at all - the iOS app converts them to JPEG on the fly when you upload them.
- azinman2 8y agoThen that’s a problem that google photos should solve. iOS does this transparently. Dropbox even asks if I want to sync with heic or jpg.
