No - it happens when I go to search the internet- I was looking on how to replace or clean my toshiba air conditioner filter and I clicked on one of the responses and it came up saying I’ve been hacked
tried shutting down the phone but doesn’t help
Calendar alerts are the usual cause of this. Please confirm that there is no subscribed calendar, per the previous links.
If there is no subscribed calendar here and restarting does not clear this...
If you have an add-on VPN client app in use here, remove that and test again.
Failing that, Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data
OK, let's try a forced restart, using the appropriate instructions at:
Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
Assuming these bogus messages are from your calendar, see:
Phone has been hacked
