can I get malware or virus by visiting an infected website?

Hello, I accidentally clicked on a popup „your iPhone has viruses“. Can there something download in the background or smth? Sorry for my bad english :) Apple already wrote something about that and they are warning to click on those popups. Is that because it can infect your device? I didnt jailbrake


best regards

iPhone 13
