I was on ballotpedia website & all of a sudden this pops up! I did NOT click on anything. I swiped up on my iPhone 13 Pro Max & closed the tab, immediately then cleared history & website data in safari & also in settings— safari. Should I be worried about download software without my consent? Or adware or hacking or virus, etc.? iOS 15.4.1
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15
No no no. Never install security apps, even ones that are familiar names to us.
Nor VPN unless your company gives you one to install.
Settings, Safari, clear history and website data.
Then check for calendar spam
I don't think it is, but it!s worth knowing how to temive.

Same thing with this too?
I did NOT click on it, I exited out (closed the tab & deleted history & website data) I do NOT look at adult websites on my iPhone, so I don’t know why this is occurring so much all of a sudden. Also my battery life has been going down faster too. Over the last week or so & I haven’t had these problems in a long time (only started having these pop ups very recently)
should I do a factory reset to be safe? Then install something like the Malwarebytes app for iPhone from the App Store?
It will only download software if you ask it to, and any software must be from App Store anyway unless you have jailbroken the phone.
(That situation may change if over-reaching governments force Apple to open up to third party app stores but at present you are safe. Talk to your politicians to protect Apple's securiy features)
Just close the tab and if you are worried clear website history and data in Settings, Safari.
I don’t think it’s jail broken, I bought it directly from Apple’s website brand new & I am the only one who knows my password & change it every now & then— also I change the passcode too.
How do you know if it’s been jail broken?
You would have to jailbreak it yourself, unless you gave it to someone while it was unlocked and they knew how to jailbreak it. It can only be jailbroken by someone with physical possession of the phone for about a half hour.
Yes as Lawrence said, I'm sure it is not jail broken.
You are safe.
