Loud beeping noise with virus warning on iPhone?

My iPhone was running iOS 10.3.1 when this happened. I would kind of understand why this happened. I was using a modified version of Instagram called Instagram++. While I was scrolling my phone made a loud beeping noise and said that my phone has a virus. So does my phone have a virus?

My iPhone is not jailbroken. I used an application on my computer to put a modded iPA on my phone.

And when you do that, either the program you're installing, or the tool you're using to bypass iOS normal installation, can be infected with malware. You basically allowed an unknown source complete access to your device, to install anything (whether the distributor of that software intended it, or their code has in turn been compromised - who knows?). These web side loading apps are not supported by Apple for this very reason - you have no way of knowing and no control over what they actually install.
