Weird timezone pop up on iPhone

This morning when I checked my phone for the first time I received a pop up that said; “Update timezone information available, Restart to apply new timezone definitions”. Does anyone know what this means? Im worried i might have been hacked or compromised. I still use an Iphone 7 so I don’t know how safe it is.

Wrong time displayed Updated to iOS 17.4.1 two days ago using internet at friend’s house. Time on phone was correct until today when I returned to same friend’s house which automatically accessed the internet here. Displayed Time is now an hour and a half ahead of correct time. Time in SETTINGS is on ‘automatic’ and set to correct time zone. Tried a restart but issue persists. Even if it were the wrong time zone, where is the extra half- hour of time coming from? Very strange.

Restart due to “new Time zone information” Twice today I’ve had a message saying “Restart due to new Time zone information”. Between the 2 message I updated to iOS 16.4. Is this message normal? many thanks
