iPhone X photo distortion after edits

I noticed recently on my iPhone X that after I edit my photos the edits get distorted once I save them. They look completely different. I also noticed that the photo is slightly blurry before I click “edit” on the photo before I start editing. It’s extremely bizarre and also frustrating. I thought maybe it was a storage issue? But I cleaned out some photos and it’s still doing it. Very odd...
