My iPhone 7 has been giving a no service and searching sign and cellular issue. The cellular option in settings as a message “ an update is required to use cellular date on this device “ any advice on how to fix it ?

It is essentially a way to start fresh and remove any potential issues or conflicts that may have arisen during the device's use.
