I grapple with image posts every day (obviously not here). Sites do not display webp, so I end up converting either with an app [1] or browser extension. Converting on an iPhone is absolutely insane [0]. And I don't have a clue who can read heic, so I ban it on everything I own.
And then the URLS that social sites don't render as graphics. Some sites are small and don't have the resources of a Google to somehow display images with URL's that look like random strings with no extension.
[0] Without detail, You save an image to photos (no option to save them to Files), then share to Files, Open Files, long press to get the "Quick Actions" menu, and "Convert Image". THEN save it back to photos.
Fun? Well, when you "get info" on an ios photo, if it's webp, there is NO info.
This is user-hostile to say the least.
[1] There's a binary you can get from Google, IIRC, that converts webp. I call it in a shell script that can batch-convert unlimited webp files in one shot.
