"Notification on iPhone's chrome asking for VPN mandatory update, Is it a scam?: I’m working on chrome using vpn and a notification just popped up to install update for vpn otherwise my iphone will be disabled in 1 day . What should I do"

That is a scam. No one is going to hold your phone at ransom, and disable it remotely.

Uninstall Security Software:

So, remove this VPN software. Security Software just gets in the way on an Apple Device, and this is a pure example of how and why.

No. Security Software is not required, and is something to avoid altogether.

I. Web Browsers to Use:

On top of that, I would recommend using the DuckDuckGo Web browser. It does not track you by your locations. You'll find it right in the App Store.

II. Software to use...
