Google Photos is squishing my photos

Description of problem

Hey everyone,Both me and my wife have for years been taking photos with our phones, cameras and so on. Mostly in 4:3 so, when uploading them to Google Photos we always crop them to 16:9 and usually use Auto Awesome to make the photos prettier.Today something strange started happening. We uploaded 4-5 photos of our cat doing cute weird cat things, and applied the Auto Awesome and 16:9 crop as usual, put it on his album and everything was great.What wasn't great was that i got a notification that someone in my family had seen the newest photos in the album (we share our albums with family cause we live a few countries away) and somehow the photos got squished and are looking fat, in between 16:9 and 4:3. Upon zooming even the tiniest bit it fixes it, but it will display wrongly (squished and widened) online and on the phone.I can provide an image to show what i mean later.

Other relevant info

If i don't add any of those photos to a shared album, even if i did crop them they stay fine the way they should be, they only squish when added to a shared album and then seen by someone.This did not happen to the 5000 photos and albums that we have, it only started happening today so i am not sure what is happening exactly

When this issue began

Today

Recurring issue

Yes

Cause/Steps to recreate the issue

Upload photos, add to album, edit them (crop and auto awesome), share with someone, upon someone seeing the album the photos squish

What I've tried so far to resolve the issue

Re-uploading photos, changing the filters (using different and not using at all), not adding to an album that's shared and so on.
