Phishing popup on my iPhone

I have seen flash messages that I’ve been hacked and some bad stuff is going out from my phone. How do I get that cleaned away

These messages are probably appearing when you use a web browser and are visiting some websites. Those messages / popups are part of a scam. The idea of this scam is to get you to believe that your iPhone is hacked etc. and get you to sign up for a cleanup of your iPhone in exchange for a fee. Your iPhone is not hacked and I recommend that you not visit those websites that present the scam messages.
