I’ve been receiving Security Risk messages on my iPhone and afraid of getting hacked. Are these for real

These messages arrive daily with no provocation. I have an iPhone 14 pro with completely updated software.

Windows, Windows 10

Well, if you have provided your email address or phone number to anyone or any company, you are subject to scams.


Apple will never send a message like this, even if the message might appear to be from "Apple"


The message is trying to trick you into believing that there is a problem with your phone and get you to click on tap on a link in the message to sell you useless software or worse......try to get you to provide personal information.


Ignore and delete the message. NEVER click or tap on a link in a message like this.
