There is no virus you need to worry about or an app to clean it. The only thing you need to do is make sure your account is secure. You can run Safety Check to review your Trusted Devices, Trusted Phone Numbers, change your password, or see what information you are sharing.

I you believe your account has been compromised, see this support article:
If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support
Have you installed software on your phone that was not available on the App Store?
Have you given your phone to someone for a hour or two and also provided them with your Apple ID and Password?
If yes, you might have an infection on your phone.
If no, your phone does not have a virus. If you are still not convinced, run Safety Check on your phone.

Unless you have jailbroken your phone, you cannot get viruses. What makes you suspect you have a virus?

iOS malware is quite rare and targeted, based on available information.
If you’re worth enough to be targeted by that (very expensive) malware, you need specialized and direct assistance with your security. Investigative journalists, political dissidents, with access to sensitive or classified data, access to great wealth, you’ve directly and very personally annoyed a government, etc.
For the rest of us, there’s very little malware around. Little that you didn’t go out of your way to find and install, or allow somebody deep access to your iPhone and your Apple ID.
Are there particular concerns or mis-behaviors or risks that you’ve not yet mentioned?
Has your iPhone been out of your vontrol, or your passwords or passcodes compromised?
