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.
