Your iPhone has not been hacked. There are no known ways to hack an iPhone remotely. The only way it can be hacked is if someone who knows how to has possession of the phone while it is unlocked for at least 30 minutes. If this has actually happened restore the phone to factory settings and do not restore a backup; set it up as if it is new→Restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
The only real exception is if you are important enough on the world stage for a government to be willing to spend in excess of $1 million for a product like NSO Group’s Pegasus hacking system. So unless you are a well-known journalist, political dissident outside of the US, international criminal or politician in a repressive state your phone has not been hacked.
If you have gotten a popup saying your phone is hacked, that is a phishing scam to steal your money, your identity, or both. Ignore and dismiss it, and don’t tap anything in the popup, including “close”, done, or any other buttons on the popup.
