I was trying to find Roblox shirt id codes that cost 20$, i was clicking on all the websites that popped up on google, then it brought me to the website. It said I had 21 viruses and had to download a app to clean the viruses, panicky I did it. But it tried to make me pay money to clean it, is this a real virus?
iPhone 11, iOS 15
No. Your iPhone does not have any viruses. It is a scam website that is lying to you so that it can extort money from you to purchase a useless app that will neither clean nor protect anything on your iPhone. You can safely close that website and shut down Safari.

Blow it Off:
There are no viruses on your Mac. So, no worries there.
Malwarebytes for Mac:
Where did you get this version of Google Chrome? If it was not from Google, then might be the reason for all these messages. Always get something from the manufacturer/developer, and nowhere else. So, run Malwarebytes for Mac, remove whatever is found from the quarantine, and then restart the Mac.
