text messages about software updates

I have automatic updates but recently I have received two text messages to go to settings & download. Are these legit? It’s for 15.3. See below:,


URGENT SERVICE ALERT: To avoid losing service on this phone after 2/22/22, go to Settings > General > Software Update and select Download and Install to update to the most current software version.

iPhone 7, iOS 14
