Malicious link

Hi everyone.

today I followed a malicious (not sure if it was malicious) link (it was sent to me via Viber app by one of my contacts).

is there any way to check the phone now?

(I learnt that it might be malicious by submitting it to Viber for checkup).

iPhone XR, iOS 15

It doesn’t matter if it was clicked. An iPhone cannot be infected by clicking a link. The only risk is if the link goes to a website and you then enter personal information into the site.
