iOS Facebook video virus?

Clicked on what I thought was a friends video in FB messenger on my iPhone - then immediately closed. Didn’t even see it play. Is this a rIsk of malware, virus...? Again only clicked on it didn’t see it play closes immediately, didn’t Install anything or enter any information - don’t know where it would have taken me.

iPhone X, iOS 12

iPhones and iPads are designed to resist virus attacks, so no, this isn’t malware or a virus. Probably just a small glitch that you can fix easily with a hard reset. Hold both volume buttons and the home button until the Apple logo pops up on screen, which at that moment you can then release the buttons and proceed as normal.
