infrared light is invisible to the human eye, so if it was infrared, the light wouldn't be visible

It's just a normal wavelength red light, nothing to worry about.

It's an AF assist lamp.

A standard lamp, no IR etc. involved.

It's there for the phone to help it focus on your subject in poor light conditions.
