Clicked on dodgy link on messenger

I stupidly just clicked on a web link sent through Facebook marketplace while on my iPhone.

I immediately closed it (it was a search page see pic for link details) and then looked at the profile of the person who sent it (was enquiring about something I have up for sale) and they only had 4 connections, no profile pic etc.

so I’ve blocked them but is there a likelihood my phone or my Facebook account has been compromised?

Phone no. The worst that can happen to an iphone is they added a spam calendar

Facebook I don't know.

Just in case..,

To remove Calendar Spam:

In Calendar app, tap on Calendars and uncheck the ones you don’t recognise .

Then Settings > Calendar > Accounts > Subscribed Calendars, look for the problem calendar and delete it.

When a website asks to send you notifications, special offers etc always say NO.
