Random Apple Maps link created from Messenger message

I sent a message through Facebook Messenger and noticed that two random words became a hyperlink when the message was sent. I clicked the link and it redirected to an Apple Maps location for a hospital in Norway. I’m from the Philippines btw. I’m feeling so anxious that it may have caused anything to my iPhone being compromised. I have the latest iOS installed. What should I do to check if my iPhone has been compromised?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

Same problem with the expression "nari mo" on Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp and Google Chat. (Google chat sends me to Google Maps). Probably other apps too, but not iMessage. Also works with nari mo. / Nari mo / NARI MO / nari mo / etc. Friends confirmed the problem on their phones except iPhone 12 so it is maybe 13 and up.

You can try on your phone and see for yourself.

It seems like iOS is overtaking some functions, analysing text and adding a maps link to some expressions.
