Hello LisaAMB, 


We have a couple questions, to make sure we’re on the same page with your question. How are you sending the data? AirDrop, email, as a text message, etc? Are you seeing an indicator on the data itself saying it is small, such as a watermark? Is the file size small or is the image itself in a smaller box than you’d expect? Lastly, do you sync your pictures with iCloud? You can verify that in Settings > your name > iCloud > Photos.


A few general steps you can take with your device to troubleshoot and isolate - Restart your iPhone


Thanks.
