I’m trying to to set up advanced data protection in Settings:iCloud:Advanced Data Protection:Account Recovery, but when I try to add a recovery contact, a popup message tells me I can’t proceed until my iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS. However, I can confirm that it’s running the latest version.
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 18
I see you posted this on an iPhone 11 Pro with iOS 18. I believe it is saying a different phone has not been updated. It could be an old phone that you have left in a drawer. Go to Settings > Apple Account > Look at the list of devices and see if an old phone is listed. If there is click the device and hit Remove from Account. Hope this helps

Bingo, that was it. I forgot there was an old iPhone still attached to my account and thought it was referring to my current one. Thanks!
