Malware from links? iPhone iOS?

Accidentally and stupidly clicked this link.

The phishing scam text said Congratulations (my name) from Amazon (obviously a scam) and said I won the raffle for free Pods. It said to click this link. And accidentally I copy pasted the text into safari and it unknowingly directed me to the webpage.

Is this a virus? Is it possible to get a virus from a website on iOS I deleted all safari history and reset my network settings and shut down phone. Should I be worried?

IPhone 12 max running iOS 14.4

An iPhone cannot be infected from opening a link. As long as you didn’t enter any personal information in the link you don’t need to be concerned.
