Hey dont be worried this is just a scam trying to get you to do something, you can just close the tab or close safari and you should be just fine, you see that url you can always tell its a scam or a bad link when you click on it or get to a webiste where the url is some random tackis.xyz kind of url or soemthing just random out of the blue and google would never tell you to instal an app on your device or even tell you that you have a virus, so don't go installing any apps you should be just fine. Hope that fixes your worries. 🙂

Unless you have jailbroken your phone there are no known virus for iPhone. If you have jailbroken your phone, you're on your own.


See this link on how to recognize Phishing Scam messages --> Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


Close that message, then go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data


DO NOT Click on any links or provide ANY information and you should be fine.
