I hear there is a new scam telling us to update our ifones. How do I know if it is a scam or not? I have an update available, and am scared to update it.
How do I know if my update is safe. I’m hearing of people losing any and all access to the info on their fone

iPhone 14, iOS 17
I have been updating my devices ever since I bought my first device in 2009. iPhone 3Gs, 4S, 5, 6, SE (1st Gen), 7, 8 and iPhone 12 Pro, iPad Pro, iPhone 13, Macbook Air 2019, MacBook Pro 16"
I never had any issues with any iOS, iPadOS, or macOS updates to date.
I would personally recommend everyone update their devices instead of listening to rumors from people who may not have kept their devices free from any spurious software.
iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware if it is updated to the latest iOS/iPadOS unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed them on your device or/and have Jailbroken.
iOS updates generally aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.
This seems purely coincidental so please check the Setting on your device.

Apple has started sending notifications for all of there devices. I got lock screen notification for the 17.1.2 update on both my iPad and iPhone.
But you know for certain it's from Apple when you check Settings > General > Software Update and find the same update there. Only Apple can cause any such notice to appear in Settings.
Is the update payment message on my iPhone 8 a scam
Apple never charges for their updates.
How do I know if my iOS update is safe?
