I opened the DPD scam text on my phone and clicked on the link but didn't download the app as requested.  I then realised it was a scam and immediately ran a scan on my device which came back no threats found. I now don't know whether to use any passwords on this device. Have I avoided the scam as I didn't download the app or could it still have come onto my device via clicking on the link.  Should I do a factory reset?

That was a close shave.  I certainly will be more vigilant in future.  Thank you for your help and reassurance.
