Visited fraudulent website on IOS Safari - what next?

I received a link on WhatsApp related to John Lewis web site which I entered the address for on Safari. I know it was a fraudulent site and didn’t enter any details on the page. My iPhone is not jail broken. I closed the web page and quit Safari. I also restarted my phone to be on the safe side. Could my phone or identity be compromised. Are there any other precautions I need to take with my phone.

iPhone X, iOS 13

It shouldn't be compromised if you didn't enter any information. I would clear the web site data and cookies.


Try double clicking the Home button or swipe up from the bottom of the screen and swipe Safari upwards. Go to Settings/Safari and clear History and Website Data. Open Safari and test.
