Received a strange photo

Hello,

I received a strange and worrying photo from someone and I don't know why but I'm panicking.

The photo was a series of red dots in a specific pattern. I don't remember much since I immediately closed the chat and never touched the photo (didn't download or open). I blocked the person immediately since I assume they were hacked.

Basically I'm scared that this photo may have infected my Android phone (up to date OS).

I was in the brave browser at the time.

Basically I'm stressed about potentially the photo somehow running a script on my phone somehow.

Again, I never downloaded anything or clicked the photo.

(On a burner since this is kinda embarrassing)
