Unless your device is jailbroken, an iPhone cannot get any viruses.
Ignore that message and DO NOT click on the button at the bottom.

This message is a scam.
It is fraudulently using Google's logo without Google's permission. The senders have no way to scan your phone to see whether it is infected with viruses. The claim that your phone has viruses is laughable given how locked-down non-jail-broken iPhones are. (A virus-infected app would have to make it into the App Store, and you would have to install it from there, and even then, iOS would prevent the virus from spreading itself to your other apps.)
The timer is another clue. How would a sender possibly know that there were 2 minutes and 14 seconds until your phone was damaged? And why would someone who was out to vandalize your phone give you that grace period? The claim that your SIM card, data, photos, and contacts will soon be corrupted is there to frighten you out of your wits so that you will act on the sender's lies.
That’s a scam.
