[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1940033, member: 307555"] .mov indicates a movie file. I am assuming when you export from photos you are exporting a video file. As for .HEIC it is an iPhone photo container format the allows for high quality compression of pictures that save space. Also photos taken using the HEIC format takes multiple shots in what is called Live mode. So basically you can look at all the series of photos on your phone and pick the best one. Not all apps will open a HEIC file container. I imagine when you drag a photo into Facebook in HEIC format I am guessing but I bet it gets converted to a jpeg - but that is a guess. Lisa [/QUOTE]
