I clicked a link in a text message that redirected me to another website. I did not put any information in but am still concerned my phone may be at risk for information to be stolen. What should I do to ensure that I don’t have a virus or malware?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15

iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Viruses / Malware / Spyware by merely clicking on a link in Safari/Messages/email if it is updated to the latest iOS/iPadOS.


Clicking only sends the information to the sending server that your Phone number or email id is valid and live.
