I clicked on an add for shopping, and an alert said that my "phone has been hacked, 17% or something has been taken." Then said I had a minute or something to download an app called "online barrier" like a VPN? Is this all a scam, even the app? I was scared so I downloaded the app and tried it. I looked up similar questions and people said it was a scam! How can I stop it…
it keep popping on my screen

Unless you're connecting directly to a business for security purposes, a VPN is generally useless. It is not any kind of AV software. For almost all users, a VPN has no real use.

Yes, it's a scam. They're trying to get you to purchase useless software. Delete/close the alert and ignore.
Thank u but the app im using as good comments on the AppStore so I’m wondering why do I get that
It is a scam
Good thing you cleared that up - a month later.
Alert pop up "your phone has been hacked"
