Phishing/malicious link on instagram

Hi, I stupidly clicked a link from an imposter account on Instagram and realized only after. I did not input any information, I did not click anything other than the link. Do I need to worry about someone accessing my personal information or data from my phone? If so, what precautions do I need to take?
