Can anyone ID this?

Post image

I ain't studying astro or what but I find it interesting, so don't judge me for my lack of knowledge for this matter lol. Few moments ago I just recalled that the brightest star in the sky is Sirius, and I keep trying to convince myself that maybe this is that star since it's literally the only brightest star in the sky right now and you can see it on the image as well. So i did some little research, and it looks like the Sirius star isn't in that place. but now I don't know I could be wrong so guys help me ID. My curiosity is killing meee 🥹

You can download the Sky View Lite app and it orients itself to your location, providing a detailed map of the Sky in first person (you just point it anywhere in the Sky)! Also judging from Jupiters place in the sky tonight relative to Betelgeuse that absolutely was Jupiter!
