It’s a 32 year old format that makes pictures worse in order to save space. A lot changes in the tech works in 30 years. While there may be nothing inherently wrong with it, there’s far better image encoding algorithms these days that can store images in less space without reducing the quality as much.
For most usage, probably nothing. Let’s be honest you arent looking at those pics again most of the time. Most of the ones you do, you’re looking at on your phone which has a tiny screen. Ask yourself how many times you’ve wanted to zoom in 10x on a jpeg on your computer and there’s your answer as to whether there’s anything wrong with it.
Exactly. Android’s default image format is HEIC as well. Jpeg is outdated and needs to die already.
And today I learned that HEIC is not a proprietary Apple format
Classic jpeg still has value and there’s improved revisions.
All my default photos are jpg. What’s wrong with that?

JPG is not bad, but it uses more storage space for the same quality compared to HEIC/HEIF

I had my phone taking photos in HEIC for a couple months. i ended up switching back to .JPG because both signal and whatsapp stuggled with it
