Clicking on a virus link

Hey, so I accidantely clicked on a virus link. Its only local in here in Czech republic, so I guess nothing big, tho Im still worried about my data. I have read, that iphones are mostly dumb-prove, that these type of viruses dont affect them. How bad is it? What should I do now? I have newest version of ios 13.

iPhone XS

only way to install software of any! type on an unjailbroken ios device is apples app store

so since a virus is software a link can't install it


most such are attempts at phishing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing

which is not something installed on your device but them getting you to provide them with all your info passwords usernames and creditcard info on your own
