Thanks for the input.

Yeah, used the wrong word.
And yes, if you download you get the same quality of the original.

I normally use the Photo Sharing for "hey, look at this printscreen" and since the compression is so high some texts are hard to read and the print gains a lot of grain.

But the compression can't be done by the servers. That would mean the original size photo would have to go to the server. And if the client has to send the full size photo for that why not sent it directly to the other client? I think the compression is done by the client and then the compressed version is sent to the other client.
