Keep getting pop-up saying my iPhone is hacked

Pop-up keeps saying that my phone has been hacked and virus, detect, detect it. I’ve all installed several apps and I thought it was taken care of. How do I get rid of hacking and viruses I don’t know how to do it.

Unless you've jailbroken your phone, it doesn't have a virus. I suspect what you're seeing are pop-ups in a browser. Close and ignore them. They are just scams to get you to download and pay for useless apps.


Also, delete all those apps that you've already downloaded that purport to rid your phone of viruses. And cancel any subscriptions you may have with them.
