what if i clicked a phishing link on my iphone

Hello!


I received an email from my outlook:

‌‌Y‌‌our ‌A‌p‌p‌l‌e‌ ‌‌Ι‌‌D‌‌ has been ‌‌l‌‌o‌‌c‌‌k‌‌e‌‌ď‌‌ on Sunday, May, 22 2022 ‌‌f‌‌or ‌‌s‌‌ecurit‌‌y‌‌ ‌‌r‌‌eason‌‌s‌‌, because of too many fa‌‌i‌‌l‌‌ed ‌‌l‌‌og‌‌i‌‌n attempts
‌‌Y‌‌ou cannot access your account and any ‌A‌p‌p‌l‌e‌ services, ‌V‌erification is required before 24 hours to get re-access your account
T‌‌he purpose of this email is to ensure that we update you when important actions are taken. The ‌s‌ecurit‌y‌ of your account is important to us. If you don't recognize this activity


I think it is a phishing email as it is sent from AppI‌‌e‌‌ ‌І‌D‌ <k7m8tdtdxw@polaroidprinter.com>...

Unfortunately, I realized it is a phishing after I clicked on the click "Verify Your Account"


I immediately clear all my history and cache, and turn off my wifi.

I didn't provide any personal information (name, password, bank details etc), but I am still worried if I will get hacked.


‌‌Is there a way to check if malware has been installed on my iPhone?


Thank you!

It hasn't. That type of threat is only a problem on Windows.
