I have just discovered on my iPhone that you can take pics in jpeg format in your settings.
I had the same issue of not being to open heic photos if I wanted to send to someone say via an -email.

The setting is under camera, formats, "camera capture", with a choice of high efficiency (HEIC) or most compatible (JPEG).

A bit late but thanks both. 

Does changing the format impact photo quality?

Not really, there's a comparison between the two formats here from Adobe (which I'm guessing should be unbiased)

Thanks again. 

That was an interesting read. Having spent a budget busting £0.79 on the extension, I’ll leave camera settings as they are. Useful to learn they can be changed though.
