Fake DHL text message with a website link

I have received the fake DHL text, which had a link, which I have mistakenly clicked on, before realising it was fishing and deleting that text. The link opened a page in the browser that showed an error message. Nothing else happened. But now I am really worried whether my iPhone 11 got infected with some malware or something similar. On the NCSC website it says that this malware works only on androids, but... "Users of Apple devices are not currently at risk, although the scam text messages may still redirect them to a scam website which may to steal your personal information."

Is it possible that information was stolen from my phone by simply being redirected to a webpage (the page didn't seem to work)?

You have nothing to worry about. iOS cannot be infected with Mallware unless your iPhone is jailbroken.

Delete your internet history and avoid visiting that website again.
