Is anyone else getting a “Carrier Settings Update” window popping up on their screen

Every day, at least once, I’m seeing a window pop up on the screen of my AT&T iPhone 14 max pro. It says:


Carrier Settings Update

New settings are available. Would you like to update them now?

Not Now. Update.


I called my cell phone carrier and the agent at the call center overseas didn’t know anything about it. What can I do to remove it? My instincts say it is not legitimate. Has this happened to anyone else?
