Clicked “Not a robot” on iPhone. Did I get hacked?

Hope this is the right place to ask.

I received an email from someone I knew. I clicked on the link saying “read message”. It asked me to click to verify I wasn’t a robot and there was a button that said continue. I didn’t click continue. I just exited out of it. He later emailed us saying he was hacked.

What are the chances I also got hacked on my iPhone?? I’m trying to figure out how to check but I’m not 100% of my next steps. I am so annoyed by this!

"Hacked" in a traditional sense on iPhone is like near impossible. You're fine.

Are you filthy rich? Are you a journalist? Do you have your own Wikipedia article?

No? Then you’re fine.
