I clicked on a phishing text, from what I thought was my Road toll company. I was asked to update my details and entered everything. Name. Address. DOB. Car Reg. Card details. (Which I’ve frozen)
What am I going to do? Bit of a disaster.

One item usable is Malwarebytes for iPhone. Keep all the junk out. Get it Here: iOS Security - iPhone Call, Text, and Ad Blocker | Malwarebytes - it Blocks Scam Calls and Filters Site usage. It is developed by longtime users of these forums, making it the only reliable and official Security Software for an iPhone. It is something to consider when it comes to blocking out junk. Email lilely will come through, but you can block out all other junk.
MalwareBytes Premium for iPhone:
This application can be found in the AppStore. It allows its users to do their part in all of this. They can report scam calls, by submitting the phone number, to its developer and adding a few lines for notes on the report upon submittal. In high-relevance to this case, it blocks popups from those phone numbers their customers have reported. Texts can be set to be received only by those in your contact list.
