I wonder in a text what does "... ..." mean? For example, someone comments "... ..." on a picture. I tried looking at Urban Dictionary, but it didn't work.

Those sets of three dots following a sentence are called ellipses. You can certainly find its meaning in the Urban Dictionary:
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ellipsis
It can indicate a few possible meanings, but in the case of text messages, it is generally used to indicate a break in thought or represent what would be a pause in spoken discourse.
Example: “There's something I need to tell you…”.
When you see that in chats, it may signal that more is to come, for instance when people break up longer turns in chat they can indicate a ‘trailing away’ at the end of a turn or a sentence. Say for instance "Yeah, I guess..."
An ellipsis can also indicate hesitation, though in this case the punctuation is more accurately described as suspension points.
I wasn’t really... well, what I mean... see, the thing is ... I didn’t mean it.
I hope that helps!
