Unless your phone has been jailbroken, it is highly unlikely that your phone could be compromised. Even if your phone is compromised, Apple would not know (they don't check that stuff) and they wouldn't text you about it. It is more than likely that it is a phishing scam and should be avoided. - Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
