iPhone Security

I received an Apple security notification telling me that viruses have been detected on my iPhone 8 and the battery has been infected and damaged. I was instructed to download and run an app called CHAMY VPN to get rid of the malware. I download the app I was asked to give access to add VPN configurations, allowing for the monitoring of all network activity by VPN. Is this legitimate? Safe? Thank you

iPhone 8, iOS 14

You did not receive any kind of message from Apple.

You received an ad selling you useless software designed to steal your data or banking details.
