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.

You’re probably safe no matter what. 15.3.1 fixes an important, but rarely exploited vulnerability.


But if you want to sleep at night restore your phone to factory settings, then restore a backup made before this happened.
