Previewing Text Spam Links

With iOS 15 if I accidentally preview the link of a spam text (while trying to forward the message to 7726) can the scammer get info, and am I, or my device made vulnerable in any way by previewing the link?


I appreciate any help.

Hi there JustBornYesterday,


As long as you didn't enter any of your information when visiting the link in the spam message you received, your account should be secure. If you're concerned about it, we'd suggest resetting your Apple ID password and securing your account with the additional steps in this support article: If you think your Apple ID has been compromised


Also, you can forward these messages to Apple:


If you receive a suspicious email or SMS text message that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, please email it to reportphishing@apple.com.

Take care.
