I clicked on a competition link from a "friend" on WhatsApp and I stupidly didn't click it was a scam, I didn't enter any personal details but I had already sent the link on... I've cleared safari history and data, but is there anyway of checking whether there is a virus or something on the phone..?

Has my iPhone been hacked? I watched a TikTok and then decided to research about the topic and didn’t expect anything to happen until a warning showed up saying “Your iPhone has been hacked!” I can’t explain much but it had many sentences and warning logos. I exited as fast as possible of that site due to it scaring me a little and just cleared it from my history. It also then led me to the App Store. I read the comments about the app and most of them mention the hack. Supposedly it’s a scam app but is this true? I want nothing to do with it. Have I been hacked and what can I do to remove it? How can I prevent from clicking onto unknown sketchy sites again?

I accidentally clicked ok on “Your iphone is infected by 13 viruses” scam. Is It Dangerous? Hello everyone. So today i was on my phone when a warning message came to me saying “Your Iphone is infected by 13 viruses, you can do this this and this to avoid it and ect.” I immediately understood that this was a scam but i clicked “OK” anyway. Then it opened the app store for me to download some vpn app (i don’t really remember the name). I didn’t download it and started to google about this virus and understood that a lots of people had this type of scam in their iphones too. And my biggest question is this. IS IT DANGEROUS TO JUST CLICK OK? DOES IT MEAN I FELL INTO THEIR TRAP? AND IF YES WHAT SHOULD I DO TO AVOID BEING HACKED
