But I don’t have any updates listed!

Sounds like a carrier update, try checking Settings > General > About and see if theres anything in the carrier section

I don’t see anything! Could I have been hacked in any way?

Mandatory update of what?

A legitimate message should say if it was a carrier update, an iOS update, or an application update.

Exactly! I’ve never seen anything like this before!

Do you have a photo of this message? How was the notification presented?

This sounds like a popup in Safari and not a native iOS notification.

I have pop ups blocked!

Pop-up blocking won't stop those kinds of messages. It's an ad or worse, don't click it whatever you do.

That looks to be for your AT&T hardware. Not iOS. Contact AT&T or check your modem / router. This is also in-app, popup blockers will not prevent these.

I hit continue…now sometimes the screen flickers. Great!

That’s ATT. Do you have ActiveArmor? Go and update the app via App store. I got same message.

 

[Doodlegal]

There is no update for it.

 

[Fantasigraphic]

There is no update for it.

I got the same message on their app. Do you have Active Armor? Because that’s the update

 

[Doodlegal]

And no I don’t have Active Armor.

 

[Fantasigraphic]

And no I don’t have Active Armor.

Nice knowing you… lol

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Again I got the exact same message on the app and chances are super high you’re not gonna get spam pops on Apple devices like you would on Windows PC lol

 

[alexfoxy]

Relax it’s just a message from AT&T.

 

[Doodlegal]

Nice knowing you… lol

What does this mean?

 

[Fantasigraphic]

Lol- Nothing at all… It was a joke.

 

[spikeymike]

Relax it’s just a message from AT&T.

This.

I opened up myAT&T app and got the same message. Hit "Continue" and that was it and continued to log into the app.

No biggie.

 

[Doodlegal]

Ok thanks all! I’ve never seen one come up like that!

If the screen flickers now after hitting continue. That’s just weird that happening. Have you rebooted your iPhone. Does the screen still flicker. Are you able to record the flickering and share it with us.

Check the App Store for updates relating to the AT&T or other affiliated apps.
