About MOV and GIF
MOV: MOV is Apple's QuickTime format and the default for videos recorded on iPhone. Recent iPhones record MOV files in HEVC (H.265), which many Windows PCs and older Android phones can't play.
GIF: Animated GIF loops short silent clips and plays everywhere — chats, emails, websites and presentations — without a video player.
