How to Get Rid of Fake iPhone Virus Warnings
If you get a virus warning in a pop-up, the first thing to remember is that Apple doesn't send out messages like these; don't tap on it or call any numbers listed on the fake alert. Don't even tap on the pop-up to close it! Some scam alerts seem to have an X or Close option that only resembles a close button but will actually direct you to the phishing site. Instead, follow the steps below:

1. Do NOT tap anywhere on the pop-up. Instead, tap the tab icon.
2. Tap the X button on the tab or swipe up to safely close it.
3. Open the Settings app.
4. Toggle on Airplane Mode; this temporarily disconnects your phone from the internet so you can reset Safari while blocking unwanted access to your iPhone.
