It's tempting to put off software updates, but keeping your phone up to date is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself from scams and security threats.
Recently, we've seen news about a scam targeting outdated iPhones. On phones with operating systems older than iOS 26.0, the scam tries to steal sensitive information and accounts. You can check your current version by going to Settings > General > About.
Protecting yourself can be as easy as pressing update on your device. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and ensure your device is up to date, and turn on Automatic Updates while you're there so you don't miss important security fixes.
Some older iPhones are not able to get the most recent updates, making them more vulnerable to threats online. If your iPhone can't get iOS 26.0 or newer, it is definitely time to upgrade.
