Hi rmhdoug1,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are seeing a pop-up in Safari. Right?
This pop-up is not from Apple. You can remove it and block future pop-ups by using the guidance in Block pop-up ads and windows in Safari. The following sections may be particularly helpful.
"Avoid interacting with pop-ups
Unless you’re confident that they are a legitimate ad, avoid interacting with pop-ups or webpages that seem to take over your screen.
- If you see an annoying pop-up ad in Safari, you can go to the Search field and enter a new URL or search term to browse to a new site. If you don’t see the Search field on your iPhone or iPad, tap the top of the screen to make it appear.
- Some pop-ups and ads have fake buttons that resemble a close button, so use caution if you try to close a pop-up or ad. If you're not sure, avoid interacting with it and close the Safari window or tab."
"Check Safari settings
On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Safari.
- Turn on Block Pop-ups.
- Turn on Fraudulent Website Warning."
Take care.
