Why do some of my pictures have an exclamation mark in the bottom right corner and are blurry? I cannot share or put them as wallpaper. I think it is because storage is almoat full but i have deleted a lot of videos and more than half of my pictures and i still have the same issue. It's annoying!

Basically this signifies that the pictures are stored in iCloud. While the advice given in this thread so far is fine, it will result in the downloading of all your photos which, depending on how many, will take a while and a lot of extra space on your device. It should be sufficient to tap on the photos you want to see and they will download if you have an internet connection. The blur and exclamation mark will disappear.
Try cutting off your low power mode on your battery. My phone was doing the same thing and all I did was go to the battery in settings and cut off lower power mode!
I tried coz I had the same problem so I go to settings - then -Baterry mode and change “Low power mode. Then check your pictures should be ok now. Have a good day!
This just happened to me. Make sure you’re signed into your icloud account and everything went back to normal.
One of the possible reasons why your photos/videos wouldn’t download could possibly be that you have low power mode occurring. Low power mode does not download all of your photos and videos and anything that you wished to share. So if your photos/videos don’t download you could possibly be on low power mode so you could turn it off, that is your solution too.
I had the same issue! If you’re phone is on “low power mode” turn that off and maybe it will help? Mine did after I tried everything else everyone suggested. Hope this helps you too!
make sure your phone isn't on low power mode, then check again.
I tried a lot of options and this way really works on me. Just try to turn off your low power mode and thank me later 😉
I had the same problem. I clicked on the download and keep originals and it still didn’t work. There’s must be a couple videos or photos that are taking up too much room. I suggest looking through your camera roll and deleting any videos that are over 45 seconds to a minute long because those that up the most space! Hope this helps and good luck!!
I've got the same problem. Most of my old pictures (around 27 GB) are now blurry, apparently useless and can't be used for social networks or any other purpose. I don't use iCloud, so the problem shuouldn't be related to that. Please, give us help with this. I've got a lot of my life in those pics.
No. This doesn't help. The question first asks about the exclamation marks.
Your answer only explains why they were blurry. I knew all of that, but I'm still stuck with the exclamation mark and not being able to download the photos from iCloud.
This is SO frustrating!! I’ve deleted so many things and tried all the above “solutions” nothing works. My phone says I have 4gb of free space yet all my photos have this explanation mark- APPLE CAN YOU ACTUALLY OFFER A SOLUTION
I have found a solution... download all photos to files and then the exclamation mark will be gone
Same problem. The guidance above (i.e. I clicked keep original and download) did not work. The photos are still blurred and exclamation mark is still there. Please assist with bringing photos to original size. That's important. Thanks
