How can I tell if my iPhone has been hacked?

Something just flashed up on my phone while I was using it, saying my phone had been hacked. How can I tell?

That is a Scam Message:

So, what to do...

A. Force Restart your iPhone:

To safely get out of this, Force Restart your iPhone. Go here: Force Restart iPhone - Apple Support

and...

B. Report this to Apple and Others:

So, report this messages info to Apple, and your federal government, if an option. Provide the screenshot and the URL of this thread. Use my User: Using the Photos App to Report Scams - User Tip
