Hello!

Your iPhone’s data was not breached by merely tapping on a link. Did you provide personal info inside of the link?

If you feel it is necessary, change your Apple ID password. Other than that, I suggest your force close all your apps by swiping up from the bottom of the screen, pausing, then swiping up on all apps as they appear. After that, force restart your iPhone.

After you’ve done that, monitor your device to see if the symptoms continue. Report back if they do. Take care!
