How do I un-enable optimze photos?

I was looking at the settings> iPhone storage on my iPhone and I clicked on Enable Optimize Photos. But now I do not see any option to undo that and return to full resolution storage of picturs on my phone. Can that be done?

iPhone 6s

Go to Settings > [username] > iCloud > Photos and tap "Download and Keep Originals" -- it is the option immediately below "Optimize iPhone Storage."


Also see the following from Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photos keeps your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device.
