Virus Alert

Hello,


I got earlier today an pop up alert while using Safari that my phone got a virus and that I had to download a specific application to protect my phone or I will lose everything. Unfortunately forgot to do a print screen.


How could I check if this is true?


Thanks

It is definitely not true. It is a scam. See—>Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


If you can tell me the name of the app I will report it up the chain of command.
