I think my iPhone has a virus any help on finding it and deleting it

every so often I will receive a message from a unknown source asking, continue details or cancel. I believe it’s a random hack that has enter my phone from the web. I usually select cancel or details but details just say unknown or untrusted. I can’t screenshot it or it just doesn’t work. When I try screenshot the warning disappears. Any help is appreciated

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16
