iPhone Virus?

Is this a real Apple warning?

So, I was searching on Safari and it when I searched up my question, it said that my iPhone had viruses. It looked like this: I downloaded the “Protection App” because I was alarmed, then I signed in with my iCloud and password and it showed that my settings, photos, files, emails, passwords, and contacts etc. will be deleted if I don’t act soon. So my question is, is this a real Apple Warning or just a scam, and what should I do with the app?

iPhone SE, iOS 13

That is a scam. Delete the app you downloaded.
