My iPhone hacked

I asked my friend where I could watch a movie. he gave me a website and then when I clicked on it the next day, I received a lot of notifications and it said that my iphone had been hacked. then there aremore viruses. how can that disappear? I also doubt my friend becausehe is an I.T pro. I hope someone can help me.

Hacked? No. You accepted some website’s offer to subscribe to a spam calendar.


Since you no longer want to subscribe to that calendar...


iPhone Calendar app > remember the color shown by the calendar spam > select the Calendars button at the bottom > scroll down to the Subscribed calendars > find the calendar with the matching color in the subscribed section > select the info button to the right of the same-color entry > scroll down and select delete.


Long history of sketchy stuff offered as “free”. Those offering the “free” often profit off of those that want the “free”.
