Bug: Image Type *.heic is Not Supported

The image type .heic (iOS) is not supported. However, the file type selection suggests that .heic is supported.

Do I have to set this on the web server, or is this a bug?

For now, we don’t support heic but let me check if we can support that in the next version.

I am still having this problem...any updates?

Stacey Herndon, we are working on it. Users need to have the ImageMagick PHP module with HEIC file type support. Can be checked from:
WordPress Admin Dashboard > Tools > Site Health > Info > Media Handling

Tawsif Ahmed RiyadΒ Mine is set like this. It's happening when they try to upload an image on mobile. I have a highly visual business and photo sharing is a major component. Is there anything else I can do?

Stacey Herndon, I have already done the work for heic format, created a pull request, my team lead will review it, I hope it will be merged (accepted) and it will come in the next release.
