I receive what it seems to be an Apple warning saying that my phone was infected with 29 virus. I downloaded the app called 'guardize' which was supposedly recommended by Apple.
Then, they asked me to introduce my apple password but I did NOT do it.
I've also deleted the app called 'guardize' from my phone.
Is my phone data compromised?
iPhone SE, iOS 14

If you have already deleted the app, that is good.
Please see the article below for steps to cancel any subscriptions that may have inadvertently happened.
Thank you!
I've deleted the app 1-2 minutes after the download.
I can't find the garbage app you recommend...
Is that on the Iphone App Store?
I checked and there is no new subscription.
Thank you! Your answers were very helpful.
You are quite welcome.
Stay alert ..... scammers are a persistent lot.
