iphone 12 photos - how to increase resolution

Hi there, all of a sudden the photos shared from my iphone 12 are low resolution. I'm not aware of changing any camera / photo settings. Any suggestions how to get full resolution photos again please (saved on phone - not just iCloud)?


iPhone 12, iOS 14

Hi there deidre_qld,


Thanks for contacting the Apple Support Communities today. We understand you're having issues with the photos on your iPhone showing in a lower resolution, and we'd be happy to look into what's going on.


To get started, in Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Photos, is 'Download and Keep Originals' enabled here or is 'Optimize iPhone Storage'? If wanting to save all photos to iCloud and your iPhone, let's enable 'Download and Keep Originals' here. Check out this link for more details: Download iCloud photos and videos - Apple Support


Let us know if that helps.


Have a great day!
