Malware on Iphone possible through Telegram?

Is it possible to get malware on iphone 11 through receiving photo on telegram? My iphone is always updated but I clicked on a photo of someone I didn’t chat to before, didn't download the photo. That person was a bit pushy about sending pics (nothing naughty) and afterwards I had a strange feeling. The phone doesn’t behave in a strange way but I am wondering if I needed to be more careful or if there might be malware on my phone.


Or is it true that updated iphones don’t get malware?

iPhone 11, iOS 15

There is no known malware/spyware/virus/ for a non jailbroken phone.
