Received JPEG picture and I clicked on

I usually do not open anything or answer if I do not know the number. I received a picture with someone holding a bottle of Whiskey and it looks it is one of my friends hand and I clicked on to see it better, I also answered it is awesome. Couple of hours later my friend asked me something and I also asked why sent me the pic from an unknown phone. More then that I clicked again and send the pick to my friend and he said he did not send such of this pic. While reading the bottle label I also noticed that I can move the bottle on the pic with just holding my finger on it, that is when I realized is not just a picture and made my friend aware. Can be a virus, or a malware? What can I do now? Pls help!

There is nothing going on and your iPhone cannot get malware from a JPEG Image


The moving you see on the bottle is a feature that is in iOS since iOS 16. When holding a subject of a photo it starts to wiggle and you can remove the subject from its background. This is a photo editing technique and most likely that is what you're experiencing with the photo


if you've received the photo from an unknown number simply remove the photo, further there is nothing to worry about as iPhones are really secure thanks to iOS'ses built in security features.
