Help! Accidentally clicked a link

Just a few minutes ago I accidentally clicked on a link sent to me in a text on my iPhone 12. I closed the website when it opened and I didn’t input any information. Am I okay? Did someone get into my phone to get my passwords and such? Do I need to do anything? Thanks so much for any advice and help!

Clicking Suspicious Links I accidentally clicked a link on my iPhone (SE 2020, iOS 16.6) when I was tired. Safari gave me the ‘this website may be impersonating the site you wish to access to steal your personal or financial information’ warning but the URL displayed was still the one I unintentionally clicked. I then returned to the page I was on without doing/clicking anything. Did Safari actually block this site? I read that even if you end up on a malicious page, nothing can happen to an iPhone unless you click/download/permit something or type details, is this still true? As far as I know iOS doesn’t allow scans so is there anything else I should do now or look out for? Thanks.

Do I need to reset my iPhone if I accidentally clicked on a phishing link while trying to report it? I accidentally clicked on an attachment on my phone while attempting to report phishing. I have been changing passwords, etc.. Do I need a new phone if I am not seeing anything unusual? Or would a reset work? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
