Possible phishing scam? I was reading a article then a window popped up telling me I had a Trojan virus on my phone affecting 17% of my data. This is a scam right? It was a window that appeared to be from Apple security it said “virus detected by apple” it had click button that said “remove virus” but then led to App Store to download a new app. This is a phishing scam right? Does apple do that pop up a Screen when a virus is detected.

It's a scam. A message warning of malware will only be legitimate if you manually started a scanner or uploaded a file to a website.
