Why did iPhone beep and say “Scanning your Device”?

I was in an app, NYT games, and my iPhone beeped twice. When I went to the notifications page to see why it said “scanning your device”. Anyone know what’s going on?

The same thing happened to me tonight. I was reading an article when I got 2 beeps and “scanning” message. How do we find out what this is? It doesn’t feel safe to use my iPhone until I get more information.
