I think my I phone 8 has been hacked. I keep getting messages about malware, security alerts and that my phone will be locked.

I have not opened any of these messages and clicked anything. Most of the messages do not have the apple logo. Any suggestions?

If running iOS 13 or earlier versions, check: Settings - Passwords & Accounts - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account. 


If running iOS 14, check: Settings - Calendar - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account.
