App called ‘web’ in battery usage

Since updating to IOS 14.8 I have noticed an app called ‘web’ in the battery usage list. I also had a message a few days ago (before noticing this app) which came with an Apple junk warning with a button to delete and report, which on reflection I cannot be certain was genuinely from Apple. Do Apple give such warnings, was it fake? This app seems to be in regular operation using variable amounts of battery and screen time each day. I can’t find it on app listing and can’t delete it. Have I cause for concern?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 14

Hi barge1914, We appreciate you reaching out to us. We understand that since you updated your device to iOS 14.8, there is a category called Web that uses battery.

We’d like to start by setting your expectations. The Battery page will have a list of both apps and features that uses the battery. However, if you feel like your account or device are compromised, we recommend that you use the "contact Apple Support" link in the article below.

Thanks. I’ve tracked it down to a web based app.
