Your posts referring to a deleted post will surely be deleted. But to answer your question, updates don't cause batteries to swell. Failing batteries cause them to swell. If your battery has swollen, take it to your closest Apple Store Genius Bar and assuming the phone can be repaired, you pay Apple to replace the battery in the phone.


Batteries are consumable parts. When the battery health dips below 80%, the useful life of the battery has been used and continuing to use it past that, can cause a battery to fail or swell.
