Photos app shows photos kinda blurry

I noticed lately that the Photos app shows kinda "blurry" photos, but when I zoom in just a bit, the photo becomes sharpened the way it should be.


Here's the screenshot: when I opened the photo VS when I zoomed in and out of photo


iPhone XR, iOS 14

Are you using iCloud Photos?

If yes, make sure, that "keep originals" is selected in the settings on your phone.

Otherwise only a smaller version will be saved on your phone, to save storage space. Only if you bring up the photo, the original solution of the picture will be downloaded onto your device.
