Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Nextcloud iOS app using a FaceTime photo saved to the iOS photo roll, then trace the auto-upload handling for HEIC photos. Compare the FaceTime photo metadata or asset classification with photos that upload successfully; done means FaceTime HEIC photos are uploaded without regressing other HEIC uploads.
