No.
If you saw a pop-up claiming that your iPhone was "hacked," that was garbage aimed at frightening you into paying for an app that would not do anything useful for you. (Other variants provide a number to call for "tech support". If you call it, you deliver yourself into the hands of scammers who proceed to rip you off.)
