iPhone overtaken during playing a game

I think someone has gained access to my phone. When I was on a game, it kept glitching and I tried to close the app. That’s when I saw a screen flash of someone else’s start page. I closed the app and went to safari where it showed up so I shut down my phone. I think I need to go to Apple Store and have them check for viruses, etc. any suggestions would be appreciated.

You would be famous if you actually had a virus on your iPhone. Probably the first in history outside a laboratory.


I would just delete the app which sounds like it has a bunch of issues.

When I was on a game,....


Does this happen with only one game? Is it a game you downloaded or one on a web page?
