Any further updates on this? We are trying to pass values from a 1:M editable related table in Collector to populate answers within Survey123. From all the searching I've done, using an Arcade FeatureSet function seems to be the only way to do it.

James, Sorry for the late reply. You are correct, the images generally line up with the screen size. However, the bizarre thing is some users aren't limited by this at all, and their photos are much larger. We haven't been able to figure out the cause of this inconsistency. While we like the added functionality of enabling users to annotate their photos, because of the screen size limitation, we will probably only be using generic photo questions from now on. I understand limiting the photo size so users don't have to zoom and pan, but it would be nice if the annotation photo question could follow the same options for image sizes as a generic photo question. Thanks, Brandon

Ismael, Thanks for the reply. Yes - we have checked the image setting in Connect and it is set to "Unrestricted". Currently, it appears the image question respects this setting, but an image question with an annotation appearance does not. The bizarre thing is, while most users are affected by this issue, some are not and their photos are high quality in both cases. The only other thing I can think of is to update to a newer version of Connect. We are currently several versions behind due to IT policy restrictions. Thanks, Brandon

While there hasn't been any resolution on this issue, we have found a workaround. We were using the annotate appearance on the image question so users could mark/highlight features on the photos they took. As it turns out, photos taken or uploaded into an annotate image question are heavily compressed in size for reasons unknown to us. We have since updated our surveys to include an image question without the annotate style, and photos taken using this question are of the original, unreduced quality. I'm not going to mark this as answered/solved, as we still can't see why the annotate style is causing such a degradation in quality. However, at least our users can now see features in their photos.

We have currently deployed several surveys created via Survey123 Connect that are being used by ~200 users in our ArcGIS Online organization and allow them to attach photos. Lately, we've been getting complaints of photos coming out blurry, and after checking, it appears the photos are being reduced in resolution and compressed. This is despite the photo size setting in Connect being set to "Unrestricted". We've tested taking photos directly in the S123 app vs. attaching photos taken through the default camera app. It appears attaching a photo rather than using the camera in the survey does produce better quality, but the photo is still reduced in size and quality from the original. To illustrate the problem, attached are two images: a photo taken using my phone's camera app, and the same photo after being attached to the survey. To further complicate things, this issue isn't happening for everyone, and we're thinking the issue may be tied to what phone is being used. The majority of our users are using S123 with phones supplied by our organization (iPhone 6 or 7). However, my coworker and I both use Android Moto devices and my photos are being affected while hers are not. We haven't been able to find any settings that could be responsible for this difference. We've just put a call in to Esri about this issue, but I figured I would ask here in case anyone else has run into it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Brandon
