I accidentally clicked on a suspicious link on my iPhone 13 while using Chrome, and I'm worried about potential risks. Am I in danger, and should I take any steps to protect my phone?

Is this a cute little rat we're talking about?
If your iPhone's software is up to date, you're likely in the clear. Just make sure to clear your cookies and cache from around the time you clicked the link. Even if malware tries to download, it would be mostly contained to that app.
You might want to run a virus scan just to be safe!
With what program should I do the scan?
If you're using Android, you can try free options like Bitdefender, Avast, or AVG. For iPhone, apps like Total AV, Malwarebytes, or Avast can help, but remember that Apple has strong security, so these are mostly to prevent phishing.
No, we're referring to a remote access trojan, not an actual rat!
