Could be underwatering. These are thirsty plants.

okay! I’ve been going (loosely) by what the app says and I just got this plant not even a week ago. do you think because the pot is so small it needs more water?

I only say under because I can see the soil pulling away from the edges. This usually happens when the soil has dried out too much

It could be move in stress since you just got it. Repotting adds more stress since it disturbs/breaks roots. You should wait 3-4 weeks before repotting new plants.

Ensure it has sufficient water and indirect bright light. Let it get adjusted to its new environment.
