If you get the picture, you understand a situation, especially something that you are being told about, rather than one you see for yourself.

If you get the bigger picture, you understand the much wider context that led to the situation you are considering.

I would use "get the picture" or "see the bigger picture". That might just be my personal preference though.

I don't think 'get the bigger picture' is wrong, but 'see' sounds better, and I think it's more common.
