I heard about it vs I have heard about it

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in different situations. "I heard about it" is used to talk about a past event or information that was heard about at a specific time in the past. On the other hand, "I have heard about it" is used to indicate that the hearing about something is connected to the present moment or has relevance to the present.
