phone security

Got a pop up on my lock screen that seemed weird. It said “New Carrier settings available. Update now? “

Unfortunately I chose the update.

My Settings didn’t indicate anything.

Nothing happened once I pressed it.

Anyway, is it possible for an iPhone to be hacked or get a virus?

Should I be worried?

iPhone 6s, 12

You should not be worried - iPhone's are extremely secure.


What you are seeing is your cell provider making changes to their network and your phone is accepting those adjustments when you approve it. Otherwise, your phone service might stop working.
