I’d start by updating your iPhone 11. The iOS version you’re running is old, and your iPhone 11 supports the current iOS version, iOS 18.1. Here is how to: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


As for what the fix here might be — anything from nothing as the popup advert with “you have (3) viruses!” lied, or the “you pervert” email falsely claiming Pegasus use and naughty photos, or some other social engineering scam, to an actual and serious security breach unlikely as that might be — that depends greatly on what “hack” you are encountering.
