Plugging in iPhone gives me countdown sequence

When I plug in my phone it says out loud in a computer voice:


"You plugged me in the wrong way. Self destruct sequence activated - 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1"


Then when I unplug it says


"Countdown terminated, your family is safe."


What in the world?????

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

Hello vtbeach13,


It sounds like you may be running into an issue with charging your device.


To confirm, are you using an Apple Certified charger with your iPhone? Here's an article to help: Charge and monitor the iPhone battery


Additionally, we'd recommend looking on your device for any apps that may have installed recently and try removing those to see if that persists.
