I'm not sure I understand just what is happening. What do you mean by "downloading pictures that are already in my gallery?" Where were these pictures "downloaded" from and to? What do you see? Is there an error message?

To help, we also need to know

Are you using iCloud Photos to synchronize your devices?
Do you have “Optimize Storage” checked in Photos’ Settings
Has this problem always existed, or did it just start? Can you think of anything that changed that might affect your device?
Do you have more than 10% free storage on your iPhone?
