None needed. That is a scam message. Ignore it. A non-jailbroken phone cannot be hacked, get a virus, or malware.

First, your iPhone is not infected. iPhones aren’t even susceptible to viruses. That is rather a scam attempt message designed to install unnecessary software with your money or give up your personal information. Two, as a result you do not need a cleaner app. Those do not perform as advertised and are rather useless.
