Clicked on a phishing link on iPhone

I just clicked on a link from messages because I was looking at my messages quickly and realized what happened to late. No website popped up when I clicked on the link but Idk if anything was downloaded on my phone or anything. Any tips? I heard Safari was locked down or something, but I'm honestly not sure if I should worry or not.

If your iPhone has the latest version of iOS (15.3.1 or 12.5.5) then nothing was downloaded on your phone.

Where did you hear this? Was that part of the message? Take a photo, and send it off to Apple. Use my User Tip: Using the Photos App to Report Scams - Apple Support:
