Google Chrome locked up. I don’t know if this is a apple or a Google Chrome problem. When I open Google Chrome I get a malware warning: protecttech2018clean.pw
I’ve tried everything except clicking on the OK since it’s suspicious. Shutting down my iPhone SE etc., does not help.
MacBook Air (2018 or later)
Try uninstalling the Chrome App.
Shut your phone down
Restart
Reinstall Chrome. Use Safari preferable in stead. It is a nice browser on iPhone

Such messages are scams. Double tap the home button and swipe upwards on the Chrome preview, then clear Chrome history (sorry, I refuse to use Chrome, so not sure of procedure). Then restart Chrome.

So that’s what I did. I’m back to just using Safari and the traditional google search engine. I do miss the barcode/QR reader though.

If you have iOS 11 or later, your iPhone can scan QR codes. Just go to Settings>Camera>Scan QR Codes and turn it on.

I cannot clear my cache, cookies etc. the Chrome browser will not let me get past the bogus malware warming in order to clear my cache, history etc.
I know that’s such messages are a scam and never click on OK but I cannot use Chrome without removing this Bogus warning. I tried the double click swipe up you suggested - no luck.
That was going to be my next step. Just go back to Safari and use the traditional google from within. The only reason I switched to Google Chrome was because it has a barcode/QR reader.
