iPhone 4 and suspicious link

Whispered · 2014-02-23 10:06:30

I tried to open an email link on my phone yesterday, sent from someone I know. The link wouldn't open. It turned out the person who had sent it was locked out of his email account, password changed, and sent similar links to a few people. Is there any way I an check the security on my phone now. Sorry, the link did open…

Sorry, the link did open another webpage but it was either blank or didn't load.

Your phone is fine. iPhones don't get viruses.

don't worry too much. Do a hard reset and work away until you have some real suspicions.
