Support for HEIC file format was included in Lightroom CC but still is needed in Lightroom Classic.  When will it be added?

[HEIC image support was added to LR 7.4 (for Mac OS 10.13 or later) and LR 7.5 (Windows 10).  (We're now at LR 8.2.1.) See https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/kb/heic-files-support.html.

all my iPhone photos up to 2017 I can edit in Lightroom Classic, but none of the images once I got the iPhone 7 Plus. I don't use Lightroom CC. Come on Adobe, this standard was written in 2015 . Get with it.

I find it weird, to say the least, that there's no official announcement about "we are working on it" or "we don't know if we will do it"...

Ha ha. I have explained it more than once, Victoria has explained it at least once. But one number does appear to be rising faster than any other - the number of juvenile posts....

And, as numbers seem to be in for this thread, that 'as explained a few times' turns out to be ..... in fact .... once.

Yes, well, they've been hitting a lot of them lately 😉

Well, no number of juvenile posts will "shame" them, especially as it's clearly not a big deal for Lr/iPhone users. As explained a few times, they hit some kind of  bug.

You got a chuckle out of me on that one, John. If this is even close to the most immature thing you have seen on the internet, I'd love to know your secret. Secondly, blatant shaming of Adobe, on the proper forum, seems to be the only way to at least try to have them pay attention. If there's a better way I'm all ears. Thirdly, feel free not to follow this thread if it bothers you.

It's really immature to make these posts and won't help your case. 33, by the way.
