Scared about viruses etc

So i asked a question like this before, but im still really scared.

A pop up on a website said: download vpn, there was no button to exit so i went to general and removed website data.

I dont know if theres anything on my phone, its not jailbroken (idk what that is but i dont touch my phone) and is updated to 15.2 (recent one)

Anything to be worried about? Or was it just a popup trying to redirect me?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 15

Hi b_ambi_9


Your phone should be ok if you haven't downloaded anything strange. Maybe clearing your cookies will help.


I would be worried if my phone had:

  1. Apps I don't recognize
  2. A spike in cellular data usage
  3. Your iPhone is overheating
  4. Unusually fast battery usage
