I keep getting messages warning me that a security feature of iOS is shut off and I’m open to all kinds of problems. Could I have accidentally shut something off that needs to run to protect my phone? iPhone 12pro

Please read the Apple Support article I linked to below. Those messages are trying to trick you (social engineer) you into sharing your personal and financial information. Don’t do it!

So far, this sounds like a scam message that is trying to trick you into buying useless software for a problem that does not exist.
What is the exact text of the message that appears?
