Bad quality all photos on Instagram

Hello, I recently bought an iPhone xr, I open the instagram, I see photos of poor quality, they are too compressed, on the phone for $ 160 on the android there is better photo quality, although there’s even less resolution, I don’t see the details here, I see a color mess, reinstalling and nothing has changed. I know the xr resolution is not super, well, not so much. I took two screenshots, although the difference is not very visible here, but on the displays it is clearly visible. First crop screenshot on xr.

Hello Erken26,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


I understand from your post that the photo quality when using Instagram is not as you expected it to be on your iPhone XR. Does this only happen to photos that are uploaded to Instagram or are the photos showing the same quality in the Photos app? If so, you may want to disable the optimize storage feature. The following article has information under the section titled, "Store your photos and videos in iCloud", on how to enable Optimize Storage. The same steps can be used to disable it as well.
