Is it possible to play and use HEIF/HEVC files on iOS 9 and 10?

Is it possible to play and use HEIF/HEVC files on iOS 9 and 10 using some kind of library, player or something? or is this something exclusively for iOS 11?

Yes you can use this library which provides a pure software decoding of HEIF images. However it might consume a lot of RAM to read the HEIF on older devices making them running out of memory: https://swiftpackageindex.com/SDWebImage/SDWebImageHEIFCoder

In June 2017, Apple announced support for HEIF in macOS High Sierra and iOS 11 which were released in September 2017. So, you can not use HEIF/HEVC in ios 9 and 10 or in macOS prior to Sierra!
