Your phone was not hacked. But on any scam site don’t click ANYTHING. All buttons are lies, and will take you to the scam site. See→Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams

If you are so concerned, then reset your iPhone, as if you were to sell it. Perform as interacted here, including the backup: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Unless you jailbreak your iPhone, you’re not going to get hacked.
Nothing to lose any sleep over. Responding or opening a spam message or email only encourages them to send more spam. Just turn your spam filter back on and just delete anything that slips through or better still mark it as spam first

Spammers are not necessarily hackers or even interested in hacking. Mostly, spammers want to try to get you to buy something. In the case of the ad you’ve described, they’re trying to get you to buy anti-virus software you don’t actually need.
Nothing bad will happen to you just because you got spam. Or because you clicked on an ad.
Personally, I would not waste the time and effort restoring your phone. There is no reason to do so and you may actually lose data doing it.
No, your device is not hacked. It is merely one of the millions of spam messages presented on the internet daily.

Then,As I said I had clicked on okay button,It won’t affect my device ?Can You please tell me why?
Clicking a link will not jeopardize your iPhone. The key thing to remember, is to not divulge personal or financial information, or download bogus apps based on such messages.
Thats not how hackers work. I would never respond to a message thats asking you to turn off your spam filter ( especially not do what it asks)because it is from a spam sender not hackers though
then what is spam works?spam for what?it I did a mistake what kind of bad things will happen to me?
Did my iPhone get hacked?
