Support preview of HEIF / HEIC images
Modern smartphones, iOS and Android based, save photos in HEIC instead of JPEG.
As of now, there's no preview support for HEIC encoded images. When people post photos taken on their smartphones, users currently have to download the photo to see it.
Therefore I suggest adding support of HEIC to the image previews feature.

Mattermost is completely unusable only for the lack of this one feature!

2024 and still waiting.
It's almost a make or break scenario with all phones have this as a default photo setting.
Whatsapp converts HIEC to JPG...... apparently it's was meant to be released in 2018 as mentioned in a previous comment -

HEIC is now a long standing standard and it should really be supported. It's strange that we're still talking about this en 2022 since it was apparently already fixed in 2018 https://forum.mattermost.com/t/solved-heic-format-not-supported-by-mobile-app/3876/8
