I currently own an iPhoneXx Max and clicked a link I shouldn't have. I know better than to click on any link from an outside source but a friend sent me something and I thought it was a trusted source. I believe I may have malicious software on my phone. What is the best software to install on my phone which will detect and remove malicious software. I am looking for software which will not cumbersome to use. Thanks in advance.
iPhone XS Max, iOS 14
First you would have to jailbreak your iPhone to allow it to put malicious software on your iPhone. If your iOS is up-to-date you added nothing to your iPhone when you clicked on that link. If you went to a site and gave any information you may need to change some passwords but if you didn’t then don’t worry about it.

Thank you. As stated just to be sure, I changed the passwords on many of my apps, mail account as well as signing out of all open apps which were open at the time. Again, appreciate everyone's quick response!
You can’t get malware just by clicking on a link. A non-jailbroken phone cannot be hacked. you Are safe and don’t need any security software.
