Your iPhone is infected with a virus

how do I rid my iPhone of a virus? I have two iPhones and an iMac. All use the same iCloud log in. Only one iPhone is getting the warning that my SIM card will be damaged along with photos.

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 18

Thank you but how do I stop the pop ups? It’s only happening to one of my two iPhones. They both use the same Apple iCloud login.

It isn’t coming from your iPhone, but rather that site. Don’t open that site that is presenting the popups.

Scam.


The claim that they can damage your hardware should be a dead giveaway.

"Tech support scammers may try to trick you with a pop-up window that appears on your computer screen. It might look like an error message from your operating system or antivirus software, and it might use logos from trusted companies or websites. The message in the window warns you about a security issue on your computer and tells you to call a phone number to get help.

If you get this kind of pop-up window on your computer, don’t call the number. Real security warnings and messages will never ask you to call a phone number."
