Malware or virus

I clicked the CLOSE button on a pop up that advised me that I had a number of viruses on my phone. I am afraid the close button was a link for someone to hack my phone. How can I tell or get this taken care of now before my information is compromised?

iPhone 8, iOS 13

iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware by merely clicking on a link in Safari, unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious softwares or unauthorised apps directly from internet and installed on your device or/and have Jail Broken.


Be careful when sharing the device's sensitive and valuable informations with friends and family members.
