Quit surfing porn on your phone. Your phone is fine, it is just scareware.
Scareware. Close the tab, don't worry, install a popup blocker for future.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Scareware, crapware, and probably downloads an Android APK. Just close it.
Adguard Pro, hands down the best content blocker for iOS.
Did he say that he uses only Chrome? (SIC!)
It is his choice what browser to use and what app to download, the paid or the free one.
Another reason to use Safari + ad blockers. It's really hard to use any other browser that doesn't have ad blocking built in.
Hey guys, thanks and indeed most of the time I use Chrome, except for opening links in mail, then Safari auto kicks in!
I'll try using Safari as main browser then and AdGuard.
Cheers

Look at the url - look at the crap msg, look at what nonsense it is , --- it's in Safari for you browsed to it. They didn't detect anything.
How do people still fall for this. If you wanna click it, click it! Tell us how it goes
Or join the rest of us who know this is nonsense and you have nothing to worry about - stop browsing sites where they take money from scammers that place ads like that

I'm surprised how many posts of this variety we're getting of this variety lately. Apple is infamous for its "walled gardens", but if there's any advantage to that it's the near complete impossibility of installing malware on iOS devices.
