Do I need to reset my iPhone if I accidentally clicked on a phishing link while trying to report it?

I accidentally clicked on an attachment on my phone while attempting to report phishing. I have been changing passwords, etc.. Do I need a new phone if I am not seeing anything unusual? Or would a reset work?

You don't need to do anything; if you downloaded the attachment, you may want to delete it.
