zarafromderry,


It means that only a low-res version of the photo is stored on your phone to save space. The high-res version is stored in iCloud. If you click on it, the high-res version should download if you have an internet connection.


To check, go to Settings > your-name-apple-id > iCloud > Photos > Optimize iPhone Storage.
