"Update Apple ID settings: On apple iPhone 12pro a flag comes up to update Apple ID settings. [...]I have been periodically attempting to do this for three or four months now. This will not go away! By the way my iPad using same Apple ID does not have the message. Can anyone help me?"

Contact Apple Support:

Having troubleshot this for months on end, contact Apple Support. If need be, perform a screensharing session with them, so they can see this firsthand, from YOUR perspective.

Apple Support Contact Us Info: 

• Contact Us - Choose Locations
• Proceed from there as Necessary
• Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)

Hi edwarbri,

Welcome to the Apple (user to user) Community.

Seems like you just need to sign in (to your iPhone) with your Apple ID.

Your Apple ID is the account that you use to access all Apple services

and make all of your devices work together seamlessly.

After you log in, you can use the App Store, iCloud, iMessage, Apple Music, Apple TV+ and more.

You might want to follow the steps for iPhone in Apple Support's article:

All the best :-)

This is a software bug that started when iOS 16 was released. I had to change my password and I also turned on two-factor verification. So far this hasn't happened anymore but Apple needs to FIX it because my Dad, son, grandsons, daughter-in-law and all my friends had the same issue.

This is also discussed in other Apple forums like 9to5 Mac, etc.

Change your PASSWORD. I was getting the same message.
