If you did not interact with the messages, then you can ignore it. If you did (i.e. Provide personal info), then you may need to take thinks a step further.

your phone is not hacked
Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other ...
The pop up or message or whatever it was is a scam that is hoping to get you to actually believe that your iPhone is hacked, so they can sell you worthless software, or worse.....trick you into revealing your Apple ID and Password.
Delete pop ups and messages like this. NEVER click a link in any of these scams.
iPhone says I'm hacked
