suspicious text disappeared after clicking on it

I received a text notification from "my bank" stating that a credit was applied to my account. The sound of the notification was different that my normal notifications. I clicked on the notification and when I did that, it disappeared. I can't find it with my other texts either.


My question is how likely is it that it was sending me malware? I've changed my email and bank passwords, but should I do more? Reset my phone maybe?


Any suggestions?


Thanks!

It is not likely that the link was directly sending you malware on your iPhone. You do not have to reset your iPhone.

To be on the safe side of things, review the instructions in this guide published by Apple 👉 If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support
