So I was clicking around in random websites (stupid ik) and I accidentally clicked something or the website directed me to another link
and the screen seemed red with a warning with something along the lines off “there’s a virus” or “this website is unsafe”, all I did however was close and delete my history…will my phone be okay? Will I be hacked?

You will be perfectly fine. These are scams, and more likely or not end up taking you to a website to try and steal your sensitive details. You will be fine.
(another scam is the 1B'th Safari search. Just close out the tab and continue on with your day!)
Phony "tech support" / "ransomware" popups and web pages - Apple Community describes these common scams.

This is a common scam on sketchy websites. Don't visit any website that ends up showing a message like that.
I somehow got to a virus on my iPhone could it be compromised?
