Can my iPhone get malware from websites

So I was doing some research through the web and I accidentally clicked on a website with a link with malicious content. I have my iPhone updated to newest iOS 13.4.1 software update. I have clear my search browser and I have restarted my phone. (Btw I have a iPhone 8) what should I do now? P.S my iPhone is not jail broken

Does my iPhone have malware? So I was on a website to learn something. And I openend the website but it didn’t load. I saw in the Search bar not secured so it was http. So I left the website, it was just a white screen so i think it was stil loading. (I have black safari background) The only thing that came to my mind was maby malware. So i scanned the link and the scanner said that it had malware (bitdefender). So now I don’t know anymore. Do I have malware or could my iphone be hacked? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Clicking Suspicious Links I accidentally clicked a link on my iPhone (SE 2020, iOS 16.6) when I was tired. Safari gave me the ‘this website may be impersonating the site you wish to access to steal your personal or financial information’ warning but the URL displayed was still the one I unintentionally clicked. I then returned to the page I was on without doing/clicking anything. Did Safari actually block this site? I read that even if you end up on a malicious page, nothing can happen to an iPhone unless you click/download/permit something or type details, is this still true? As far as I know iOS doesn’t allow scans so is there anything else I should do now or look out for? Thanks.

Can you still get malware by clicking on a link on a different browser/search engine apps from the App Store? Well, I haven’t experienced any subscribe to this or you won a something kind of scenario but I clicked a probable malwared site on the Google App and not Safari (I was an android user back then but I still used Google) I will try to post the same question on the Google Community but I was wondering, can an iPad get malware by clicking on a link on a different browsers/search engine apps?

Your device cannot be infected from a web site. If you click on links and enter personal info on the web site (SSN number, credit card numbers, etc) your online accounts and identity can be compromised.

So if it doesn’t ask for personal information I’m fine?
