Locked out of google accounts on iPhone

Google is saying I have Malware on my iPhone and has locked me out of my account on the device. Apple says I can't have Malware on the phone. Any suggestions?

Put differently, it’s very unlikely your iPhone is hacked, and far more likely Google has some sort of false positive detection arising here. Malware is certainly possible in iOS, but has been very rare and very targeted so far, and very expensive, as Google is well aware. This is almost certainly a mis-detection, too. Or you are a high value target, and need specialized security help. or maybe you have an add-on VPN client here, and that’s somehow triggering a mis-detection.
