iPhone hacking Pop Up

Hello,

I got a notification on my iPhone with a timer and a countdown saying there are hackers tracking my phone and I need to download a certain software. I exited out of the tab, but am afraid that my phone is not safe. Does anyone have any tips? I cleared my web data and turned on the fraudulent website warning.

iPhone SE, iOS 16
