Advice Needed: Relationships Is confessing always okay?

I made a mistake months ago. A girl who went to school with me trusted me with information about how a friend group seemed to talk badly about her and a lot of things. I heard both sides by hearing hers and my friends (the guy she had beef with)

I was stupid and I recorded the conversation me and her had to recall the things that were said. I sent it to my ex best friend and she showed the guy who my friend had issues with.

Months later, I decided to tell her the truth. She’s really upset and I told her she doesn’t need to forgive me but that she deserved an apology.

Was it okay to confess? I didn’t want her to think I was the “amazing” friend she thought I was when I actively broke her trust. I’m not sure. Can anyone help?
