Got this message on my iPhone today and wonder if anyone else is getting this? Phishing or how to tell if it's real? And I do have text in this box, why am I getting a message that I must include text, when I am?!?

iPhone SE, iOS 17
It’s fake. iPhones have no such notification feature.
“Don't answer suspicious phone calls or messages claiming to be from Apple. Instead, contact Apple directly through our official support channels.”
”To report a suspicious SMS text message that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, take a screenshot of the message and email the screenshot to reportphishing@apple.com.”
You can report phishing at these links and most importantly your local law enforcement.

That is a phishing message. Your iPhone isn’t actually hacked. The scammers are trying to get you to pay to download unnecessary software or worse give your personal information. Simply close out of the tab and don’t further interact with it.
