iPhone/ipad message saying hackers are watching you

Help please.

I keep getting the message that hackers are watching me when on Facebook, which I’m sure is a scam. Any idea how to get rid of it? I’m worried something has got on my phone and iPad! Thanks

iPhone 12, iOS 17

No one is watching you. These are indeed Phishing scams, designed to frighten you to buy services you don't need for issues you don't have.
