Unusual traffic while googling

[u/Smart-Ease3528]

Every now and then for the past day and a half now I have been getting the unusual traffic captcha google popup when I google something on my iPhone. I don’t even do the captcha and I just clear safari and then I am able to google, and even if I just close the tab, it seems to works too. It seems like some sort of glitch. I know its legitimately from google cause it just happens when I open safari and search something. I do not have VPN or private relay on. So far I have hard restarted my phone but that didn’t work, and I just restarted the wifi router so hopefully that will fix things. I am pretty sure its only been from my wifi not cellular though idk if anyone else in my household has been getting it though someone did just get a new phone I am thinking the usage on that new device is maybe flagging something? Should I be concerned about my device or if someone’s using the network? I think it is private.
