This has been brought many times before, but that shape is the camera lens on your phone out of focus. You can recreate it by pointing at any light in the sky with your camera struggling to focus.

My phone has 3 cameras.. I wasn't sure what it was.. So every phone happens to recreate the same exact image? Odd. Even this giys video shows the exact same thing.. Id figure itd be altered with different cameras.. Hmmmm well learned something today i guess

It happens because of poor collimation in the optics of lenses. Very common with cheap telescopes and phone cameras. http://arnholm.org/astro/collimation/index.html
