I got these two plants from a friend. I recently moved and there not doing so well. I really need help identifying them so I can get them back on track. The first plant has a ovate pinnate glaucous (waxy coating) leave, which has recently started to develop white outer rims.
The second plant has heart shaped leaves that alternate on a barky stem. Both plants pictures included.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yep, Ficus lyrata and Ficus Elastica.
They will be very bushy and darker in color when in the right location, they don't appear to be getting enough indirect light.

I agree with that. They do need to be closer to a window.
Maybe re-pot as well
