I have an iPhone and cannot figure out why every photo comes out blurry. I have my original profile picture and its fine. If I try and add any new photo at all it turns out pixelated and blurry every time. People always ask me to post clear ones but I can’t! Help.

If you have your iCloud set to save photos on your phone as thumbnails, it might be making your photos appear blurry. To change this go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Photos, and switch from "Optimize iPhone Storage" to "Download and Keep Originals.

Yes I see that.

The other thing that won't help is if you are zooming in to make your photo fit, that too would make it blurry. If not, then I suggest googling it as I've not heard of others having the same problem.
