When I took a close look at this transaction, I realized that the funds he sent did not go to my wallet, instead they arrived at this other wallet
I sent my wallet address to my friend using a messaging app which he says he copied and pasted on to his wallet. The wallet he uses is blockchain wallet
You are the receiver, your friend is the sender.
If the receiver (you) did not receive bitcoin to a given address, the sender did not fullfil his responsibility in the trade. Whatever reason your friend used is non sense and even if his device was hacked, compromised, he still has responsibility to fullfil that trade and send another bitcoins to your wallet. That's it.
You don't have to care which wallet your friend used, just need to request him to send you bitcoin to your address.
