So a guy contacted me, and as stupid as I was, I thought it would be safe to manually type the link into my phone instead of the computer. It downloaded a picture.

I immediately deleted the picture, never opened it. Can it have stolen any information on my phone such as passwords from the browser?

I don't know if this is the right subforum, but it is quite urgent. Can it have messed with my phone without me opening the picture?

Okay, I just got a little bit scared when I saw it downloading something without me even giving it admission to do so
