What must I do if this shows in Terminal: "The default interactive shell is now zsh. To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`."

Should I update my account to use zsh as suggested? Even if the Mac OS has not suggested this transition to me elsewhere?

This change happened several macOs ago—going back to macOS 10.15 Catalina...

If you don't use Terminal.app you can safely ignore it. no harm no foul.

The new default shell, is ZSH and easy enough to change —follow the instruction as given in the interface...

You can see you current default shell, copy and paste:

 echo $SHELL

To see all your available shell options:

 cat /etc/shells

To change per the instructions as written, copy & paste the command line; use the enter\return key to proceed:

chsh -s /bin/zsh
