Fraudulent Virus Alert

I got an alert that my iPhone had 3 viruses and instead of checking first, I downloaded the VPN app. Did downloading the app compromise me in any way? I subsequently deleted the app and cancelled the subscription and cleared History and Website Data in Safari.

No, downloading the app did not compromise the phone. However, note that all such messages are scams. Never, never, never download anything based on such bogus messages.
