Clicked on a phishing link and the file didn’t download it wasn’t compatible

I clicked on a spam/phishing email a few days ago about a delivery order.


stupidly clicked on it not paying attention the link said it expired and the invoice it wanted me to download was incompatible.


I instantly exited the email. And didn’t enter any of personal information


I’ve got Macafee mobile security installed anyway. I’ve ran a malware scan and also downloaded a couple of other malware/antivirus apps.and performed scans which have been negative.


there’s been no unusual transactions or apps downloaded that I can see.


my VPN was running at the time as was my antivirus.


Now I’m just concerned I’ve been hacked or phished. I deleted the email and marked it as spam.


I had an IOS update due the day after it which was automatically updated.


should I be worried?



iPhone 16, iOS 18

You can delete all of those security scan apps, they are useless.

No issue with your phone.
