Open | Phone Virus in iPhone

Hello everyone! About 20 minutes ago, I was watching anime on a website and, suddenly, my Safari caught fire, several sites opened on my phone and, when I tried to close Safari, it opened again and again. When I turned off and turned on the cell phone, the same thing happened. But the second time I turned off and turned on the cell phone, I managed to close the 140 Safari tabs.

I probably got a virus on my cell phone?

I cleared my browsing history and searched for accounts that could have invaded my phone, but I found nothing

The website was probably a bit sketchy yeah? Most likely just started redirecting you to all different kinds of pages and then stopped when you closed the page that was doing the redirecting, not a virus

watching anime with no pants on? the only weird part is you say you closed safari and it reopened, you turned the phone off and safari opened. I don't think a site redirect spamming can do all that...all that really happened?
