Before updating any software, Apple typically recommends users back up their phone data.
Then connect your device to a computer and restart your device by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake buttons and Home button for at least 10 seconds. Several Reddit users have confirmed that they’ve received Carrier Update 25.2 and that it fixes the connectivity issues that they were having.
If your device leaves recovery mode, just repeat the above steps and choose Restore instead of Update.
The new version of WhatsApp also lets you answer Siri calls from your lock screen, while a new lock screen widget lets you jump to recent chats and unread messages.
The update is 1.1GB in size so you’ll need to make sure you have this space free on your iPhone before Apple will allow it to be downloaded.
