Hello janiah5584,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. This usually means that your carrier has released a new update for your carrier settings. These updates usually include either fixes or new carrier features. For steps on how to manually update your carrier settings, please follow the steps here: Manually update your carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If you dismiss the installation notification, you can manually update carrier settings by following these steps:
1. Make sure that your device is connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network.
2. Tap Settings > General > About.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to install your carrier update.
If you set up a new eSIM or insert a new SIM card into your iPhone or iPad, you might need to download the carrier settings for your new carrier.
We hope this information helps you. Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Take care.
