You do not have a trojan virus. What you likely received is the well known "Hey Pervert" scam that claims that a virus was installed on your computer. They are simply trying to scare you into giving them money.

i am scared to because I was called anonymous and I picked up the call

You should be scared if they called you by your real name. But the fact that they called you by anonymous just tells that they do not even know who you are and have no access to your personal information whatsoever.

With an Trojan virus

Something that your iPhone just isn’t susceptible to.

That is a scam attempt. Your iPhone is not hacked. They are rather trying to get you to purchase unnecessary software and give them your hard earned money or give them your personal information. Simply ignore the message and do not interact with it, we all get them now and then.
