Hi
leofranc
,
I understand that your photos are blurry unless you have cellular data enabled when using your iPhone. I'm happy to provide some help with this issue.
Based on what you've described, it sounds like you are using
iCloud Photo Library
. If you turn on Optimize Storage, your photos will be space-saving versions until they are needed. If you do not have an internet connection when viewing them, then your iPhone will only be able to show you the lower resolution space-saving version. You can read more about this, including how to disable it, in the following article:

Make sure that you have enough storage
The photos and videos that you keep in iCloud Photo Library use your iCloud storage and your device storage. And as long as you have enough space in iCloud and on your device, you can store as many photos and videos as you like. When you sign up for iCloud, you automatically get 5GB of free storage. If you need more space, you can buy more iCloud storage. Plans start at 50GB for $0.99 (USD) a month. If you choose 200GB or 2TB plans, you can share your storage with family. Learn more about
plans and prices in your region.
Save space on your device
iCloud Photo Library keeps all of your photos and videos in their original, high-resolution version. You can save space on your device when you turn on Optimize Storage.On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
- Tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud. If you’re using iOS 10.2 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud.
- Tap Photos.
- Choose Optimize [device] Storage.
On your Mac:
- Open the Photos app and click Photos in the menu bar.
- Click Preferences.
- Go to the iCloud tab and choose a storage setting.
If you turn on Optimize Storage, iCloud Photo Library automatically manages the size of your library on your device. Your original photos and videos are stored in iCloud and space-saving versions are kept on your device. Your library is optimized only when you need space, starting with the photos and videos you access
least . You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them. You can use Optimize Storage on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac.If you turn on Download Originals,
iCloud Photo Library keeps your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device.
