I just received a pop up saying my iPhone was being watched by hackers

I just received a pop up saying my iPhone was being watched by hackers and that I needed to take immediate action. At the bottom it said protect connection. I clicked it but saw that I redirected me to the App Store. I got off and didn’t download it but I still don’t know if I’m safe.
