No one has hacked your phone unless you let them use the phone for an hour or so and also provided them with your Apple ID and Password.


The message that you saw is a scam that is trying to trick you into tapping on a link to buy useless software or worse......provide personal information about yourself so the bad guys can try to steal your data.


Delete the message and any others like that you will surely see. Never click or tap on a link in a message like this.
