VPN app

I have a pop up on my iPhone screen that wants me to download a VPN from the app store. Is this a legitimate request or is it a phishing attempt? I have an iPhone SE.

No, it is not legit. It is a scam message presented by criminals. Never download anything based on a popup message.

It’s almost certainly a scam. If you have an anti-virus package on your iPhone (hopefully you do not), there’s a small chance you’re being asked to supplement it.
