What to do if you have accidentally clicked a phishing link on your iPhone?

I accidentally clicked a link in a Phishing message. But not sure what to do about it now. Most articles online suggest running an antivirus/anti malware. But there are no guides available for iPhone users. At least i couldnt find any

Neither viruses nor malware can affect an iPhone, unless it has been jailbroken.

That said, I suggest that, for your peace of mind, you change your Apple ID pasword, using these instructions:--> Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support, and your email password(s).

Also, I would clear your Safari history & cookies:--> Clear the history and cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

When done, restart your iPhone.
