I have an iPhone 8 and I was using safari and a pop up says I have 4 viruses and I need to Download an app from the app Store I downloaded but I suspect that it was scam so I eliminate the app. Can a virus get to my iPhone if I download an app?
iPhone 8, iOS 13
No. There are no known viruses that can affect an iPhone. Such messages are always scams.
Downloading an app from the app store also would not have a virus either, Apple verifies all apps submitted ot the App store for compliance with their guidelines. However if it had a renewable trial period, it may renew into paid subscription and charge you.

A non-jailbroken phone cannot get a virus. Those warning messages are scam messages. Ignore them.
It’s a malicious ad served to you by a website.
install an ad blocker and stop going to sites that serve you those kinds of ads.
