Virus pop up

So. I was on safari and I got a thing that said my iPhone had so many virus on it etc and if I didn’t get them off so and so would happen too my phone and I clicked okay and it made me download this app too i guess “wipe” the virus and I did. Is my phone compromised or is it gonna get messed up or something? I’m scared that something bads gonna happen too it

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Hello Alexis_guzman,


iPhone's being infected with virus is a rare case. Those kind of pop-ups you have got must be when you have accessed a particular website or connected to an untrusted Public Wi-FI Internet. . Please do not click on any of those things as they might mis-guide you and steal your personal data. If you have installed anything from there immediately uninstall/undo everything you did. And, I also warn you never to access untrusted/unknown sites anytime.


Thank you.
