You are using Iphone, if true, condolences to you, Electrum still does not have a version for Iphone users. I'm also on an iPhone, and I've been waiting for the iOS version for a long time, but I'm still disappointed about it. If you want to use Electrum, you should use it on a computer or phone with an Android operating system.

Using google search to download important application such as wallet is a terrible idea because of the existence of fake website that copying the original website. Some of the phishing websites use google ads to up their website so most likely you will visit one of them if you didn’t know the official website when searching.

Use the forum search bar if you want to research about wallets since all fake websites and scam apps here are always moderated by the mods.

There’s no electrum wallet available on appstore or for ios.

You can use https://bluewallet.io/ as an alternative to electrum on your ios phone.

The advice is very helpful when trying to find some software or service through a google search. There are a lot of scams out there, so be careful.
But have you tried with the phrase "Electrum"? I tried searching for it, and all it shows is Electrum's homepage. So there's no need to make the OP so panicky and confused.
But unfortunately for the OP, Electrum doesn't have an iOS version, so you need to find an alternative.

Not just electron wallet, downloading this wallet from the official source is not the end of the possibility that you will lose your asset, make sure that whatever you want to run on your PC is also from the official source, like browsers and software.

Also, make sure that you keep your recovery seed safe for yourself only, it's not something you can share with anyone, this is the burden that every crypto investors have to go through, keeping the private keys and recovery seeds safe, no other way around.

BlueWallet is a recommended BTC wallet to use on IOS, it is an open source wallet and a non custodial wallet, just like Electrum. Follow to download BlueWallet: https://bluewallet.io/.

If your PC later becomes available and you feel you want to switch to Electrum, you can import your BlueWallet seed phrase into Electrum software wallet. Do your own research about BlueWallet, and to do that you can get features of the wallet here: https://bluewallet.io/features/

Download it from the official Electrum site also in the link hosseinimr93 posted above. Do not use google search for you not to see scam apps. While looking for apps, do not try anything Google at all.

You can see the correct link toelectrum website on Wikipedia, for example. Even driving the app's name into the google search. The probability of getting a phishing website is low here, but still, articles there are also written by people and moderated as well. So, for reliability, it will be better to check GPG signatures (information and instructions on this are available on the download page on Electrum website).

Unstoppable wallet is more recommended wallet for IOS users and also uses SPV, its not only for Bitcoin but for other cryptocurrencies as well. For more information you can check this discussion thread^[1]. You can see/read different experience of other members too.

If you are using an iPhone then there is nothing to do because there is no Electrum application for Apple user. But you can search it on Google Play store if you are an Android user. Also you can download Electrum for Windows. Can you please tell us which device you are using?
Here is the Official website of Electrum: https://electrum.org/
There are some alternative secured wallets for your Bitcoin, you can use them.

I will echo the majority of the reply here, you should only download a Bitcoin wallet on the official website because there are lots of scams and unreported phishing sites that will appear on Google search.  Worst you might end up in a malware-infected site.

Aside from downloading from the official site, open source applications have instructions to verify the download, always do that to do additional security since there are some cases where even the official sites are infiltrated by hackers by changing the link of or application to download.

Although the possibility of getting phishing sites is low through Wikipedia, it still has the potential to be compromised because as you said it can be written and moderated by anyone.

The simple way I do it is usually to manually write it on paper or a special note and save it.
Or bookmark the original Electrum website.

and pay attention to every letter in the domain really must be the same and nothing is different.
After that look at the file you want to download. The original file will not be detected by the virus.
So in addition to being aware of the domain, you should also provide extra security on the device using Antivirus,

Electrum is a good bitcoin wallet because it is non-custodial and open source but Electrum is not available on iOS devices. A good alternative is blue wallet and unstoppable wallet, it’s advisable you download from the official site https://bluewallet.io/ if you want to know more about blue wallet, read here; https://bluewallet.io/features/

I'm old-school security wise, I don't find it a good idea to handle a wallet on a mobile phone when the amount of value exceeds sums past that one is comfortable to have in your fiat wallet. A mobile phone is easy to loose or get stolen. And even worse, most people do a ton of shit on their mobile phones which are not recommended on a device managing a crypto wallet.

Yes, your keys, your coins. But also your responsibility to keep it safe!

With all the app shit that some (most?) users install and use and many apps want and probably need the permission to use the clipboard, not sure how iOS handles that, but on Android likely any app subscribes to changes of the clipboard (though I'm no Android dev & expert).

Anyway, depending on how much coins are at stake, one should think early enough to use a hardware wallet (no, don't even think about the Ledger crap, but that's another story and none here to tell). Though I don't know how well the wallet suggestions stated here work with decent hardware wallets, especially on a mobile device.

On a PC I use Electrum and Sparrow wallet with a hardware wallet. I run my own Electrum server to maintain privacy for my SPV wallets. That is not a must for a newbie or less computer tech savvy person. But it's not rocket science, either.

Not just for Electrum, Incase you have other things to download online try using the official site to download it so as to avoid downloading malware from a hackers site.

Or avoid running an insecure OS where Malware can change the name resolution of legit sites into phishing sites...

I'm just gonna add that while reputable wallets like electrum, unstoppable wallet, etc. are surely a big plus when compared to blockchain.com, let's not forget that if you're setting up a hot wallet, then it's not recommended for big amounts.

So unless it's just a hundred bucks or so, I would opt for a hardware wallet instead if you want maximize your security while also keeping it convenient. I would look into this list: Open Source Hardware Wallets

You can download an Electrum wallet through play store depending the phone you are using, if you are using iPhone you can use an app store but if you are using android phone you can go with a play store to download Electrum wallet and perform your registration and write out your seed phrase immediately and document it safely
