None. There has never been a virus that can infect an iPhone. ALL such messages are scams to get you to spend money on worthless software, or to trick you into giving criminals your Apple ID and password. Just delete the message. You are more likely to get this kind of a message if you visit sketchy websites. But the best thing to do is deleted them without touching anywhere in the message.
