Accidentally downloaded a risky app

I was browsing through safari and got a notification saying "you iPhone is infected with 13 viruses" which led me to download an app called "defence glass vpn". After I looked it up, the whole thing felt like a scam and I believe the app I download might also be malicious. I've deleted the app, restarted my phone and also cleared all the safari data/history.


Is there something else I can do to make sure the nothing malicious remain in my iPhone?


Thank you

iPhone SE

It's long, but if you read nothing else, read the first three numbered points and the Summary at the end. They are equally applicable to Macs, PCs, mobile devices or anything else that uses software to communicate with the world beyond it.
