Also, the words are not selectable for a copy/paste translation. Everything else in the image is but even the Google next to the Arabic can’t be highlighted.

    Nope. No VPN. I left out the strangest part because it sounds schizophrenic, too. Haha. I closed out the Arabic message and took a screenshot. As soon as I took the screenshot my phone went into standby mode, just like when your phone dies. Black screen with spinning wheel but for probably 15-20 seconds. The audio never stopped, though. When my screen came back my phone did a strange sort of jutter that immediately reminded me of what a phone would do when you sent an email maybe 8-10 years ago. It’s hard to explain but do you remember when older phones would almost freeze for a millisecond while it processed and sent the email? Same sort of thing. And the cherry on top was that my phone wouldn’t actually take the screenshot haha. I hate to sound paranoid but I clearly triggered some sort of security red flags. Oh well. Makes me wonder though.
