Malware effecting battery and now safari does not work- help!

I got a pop up that said malware had infected my battery on my iPhone 6s. I looked it up here and a post from Apple said it was a scam. But now I can’t get safari to work it’s just a white screen. What can I do?

Malware attack ???? I was browsing on iPhone IOS Safari and had a whole screen pop up hit me looking exactly like Apple format saying “ Apple security alert “ “ Malware has been detected “ your phone and battery has been infected “ “ to avoid further battery damage ( curious, since I have noticed my battery is becoming drained very fast ) Download free scanner app and VPN from the apple store “ and what looks like a apple store page pops up with a timer counting down for several minutes.... the app URL is * going app.xyz * since I’m not stupid I went to the App Store and did a search for “ going app.xyz “ no results...what’s going on ? What should I do ? HELP !!!!

Safari Pop Ups In - Iphone XS Was in safari browsing local city events and came across a local website. When I proceeded to the website, I received a pop-up "Your iPhone has been compromised. Immediate action required." The only option was "close", of which I clicked and was re-directed to what appeared to be a malicious website with further redeem & download like type links for virus removal. Of course I did not give any information or download anything when I was redirected to the new page. At that time, I opened another webpage and searched what to do & eventually closed all windows, updated from 12.4 to 12.4.1, cleared history & data, all apps, my password, and re-booted. Anything to come of simply clicking close on the pop-up due to instinct :( ? Is there anything I need to do further? I am concerned personal info was stolen or actually compromised. Or perhaps adware and not compromising by any means?
