Phishing I stupidly clicked on a link in an email that looked like it came from a friend! It was on iPhone 8. I realised my mistake -so didn’t put in any personal information , blocked the senders email address, reported to Apple, deleted the phishing email completely and disconnected from WiFi so it couldn’t infect my synced devices like MacBook. Is there anything else I should do before I reconnect all devices to WiFi ? Lesson learned but I would appreciate any other advice Thank you M

Since you did not reply or enter any personal information, I think you should be fine. Just delete the message and move on. Check this link...
