No such thing as a malicious file on an iPhone. I did a bit more research. Google Lens isn't a standalone app for iPhone, but other Google Applications include parts of Google Lens, including Lens-Resources. Do you use Google Applications on your iPhone. If yes, Lens-resources are part of Google and not necessarily tied to Google Lens as a standalone application.
