Pop Up Hacker

I got a notification when I clicked on a website that said it was apple security and that I was being hacked, it freaked me out so I clicked on the thing to get some app ( I know that was dumb in retrospect but it was counting down a timer and I panicked) I got the app and it said it was fixing it. I got suspicious once I calmed down and looked it up and someone else on here said that it was a scam. So I deleted the app and cleared my website data and history and stuff like that because someone on here said to do that. Is my phone going to get hacked now? Is there anything else I should do?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Go to Settings -> Safari -> scroll to Block Pop-ups -> turn it On.

On the same screen -> scroll to Fraudulent Website Warning -> turn it On.
