I have had an iPhone for about six years and I have never had to run any kind of a virus scan or anything like that. Am I supposed to be? How would I know if I have anything on my phone that shouldn’t be there? As in malware or virus?
iPhone 6s, iOS 13
you are correct, was likely phishing and trying to scam you somehow.
you had good instincts to come here and check first!

Thank you for your response. I didn’t think I should have to but I got some kind of a random notice from Google telling me I had 44 viruses on my phone and it scared me so I figured I’d better see. It obviously was a phishing scam.
1. No.
2. The only software on a non-jailbroken iPhone will be the OS and manually-downloaded applications; Apple checks the ones in the App Store.
