A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

As I stated in my post, I am downloading/exporting from Lightroom. Happens on my phone and computer
You did not state "exporting" in your original post which is exactly why I am trying to clarify what exactly you mean.
Are you talking about mp? Or mb? The mp abbreviation means megapixels or millions of pixels: the number of tiny colored squares representing the image; a measure of resolution. The mb abbreviation means megabytes or millions of bytes: the amount of data used in the image file.
If the file size (mb) is smaller out of Lightroom, that just means the jpeg compression is more efficient at delivering the same image quality (visually) while using less data. That's a separate issue from a reduction in pixel count (mp).
