Hello Sir,
I need to update my mobile number. If i update will it affect the UAN registered mobile number??
Second question, if EPF sends any messages regarding PF, will the messages be sent to the updated mobile number or to the registered mobile number?

Updating your mobile number to EPF means definitely it is also for UAN also. Once you change and update the new mobile number, then you receive all future notification to the new number.
Sir,

The best option is to do the same through an employer. Let your employer do the same with the help of EPFO.
