Can IPhone 8+ get virus from messenger link?

I stupidly opened up a messenger link a family member sent to me with clickbait, after noticing the login screen I hastily closed and deleted the message. Now is there anyway this could have infected my device with Spyware, Malware or grabbed my passwords even if I didn’t even log in to the pop up? I understand everything is sandboxed on IOS but I am a little paranoid about virus and privacy issues.

What is jailbroken? I also got a messager message with a link and I clicked it. Nothing open up, I got an error and then I realized I shouldn't have clicked on it. Could this mean that may phone and personal information is compromised?
