Can you get a virus from a photo in WhatsApp

Hello. I'm here to ask if it's posible to get a malware in my iPhone by receiving a photo in WhatsApp from other user.

I've been reading other sites and some of them say that it can happen and others said that is difficult to happen in an iPhone, so I don't know what to believe. I read that it can happen by downloading that photo, or video and even GIFs.

My iPhone 11 has everything correct, not jailbreak and other things. I just want to be sure to make things right for taking prevention to avoid this kind of things.

Thank you for your time.
