Q: Shared photos not high res?
I take photos on my 8GB iphone (sometimes).
I don't keep icloud on my phone so it does fill my phone with downloaded photos.
I share the iphone photos, then download them on my 64GB iPod.
Delete from iPhone.
I JUST NOTICED ALL THE PHOTOS ARE LOW RES AND I ALREADY DELETED THEM
Is this normal? Why would they do this?

Which sharing option are you using?
If you are using shared albums, the shared photos may be reduced in pixel size. See: iCloud Photo Sharing - Apple Support
When shared, photos taken with standard point-and-shoot cameras, SLR cameras, or iOS devices have up to 2048 pixels on the long edge. Panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide.
There will be no way to recover your original full resolution photos, unless you made a backup of your iPhone in iTunes before you deleted the photos. The iTunes backup will include the contents of the camera roll.
