Recently received a notification from Apple indicating that I’d been infected with 21 viruses after visiting an adult website and I should immediately login to the App Store and download a specific software program in order to resolve the problem. Looked official but I wasn’t going to download anything so I swiped away the page knowing that visiting an adult web site isn’t anything I’ve done

iPhone SE, iOS 15

All such messages are scams presented by criminals. Never download anything based on a popup message.
