How can you tell or what can you do to find out if your iPhone is really infected with any type of virus because I got a pop-up message saying that my phone is compromised and has 39 viruses and my contact and my Sim card will be damaged if I don’t act soon after going on a popular car website.
All such popup messages are scams. Close the offending page, and avoid sites that are involved in such bogus advertising tactics.
Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
Any such messages are scams.
Thanks that’s reassuring
