Phishing link on Facebook

I got a notification on Facebook, it was a reply on a comment I posted, and thinking it would be the answer to a question I had asked, I stupidly clicked on the link. I closed out of it as soon as I saw it was a spam website or whatever it’s called. I’m concerned that it caused a security breach in my phone. Can anyone help?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 17

iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware by merely clicking on a link in Safari or elsewhere, unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious softwares or unauthorised apps directly from internet and installed on your device or/and have Jail Broken.


Be careful when sharing the device's sensitive and valuable informations with friends and family members.

Thumb Rules:


  1. Don't share Apple IDs
  2. Don't Jail Break
  3. Don't share sensitive informations pertaining to your device and payment methods
  4. Beware of Phishing
