I just manually checked for updates on my S7 and I got a notification that there is an update that includes security enhancements..... it was around 182 MB or 188 MB can't remember

It also said that these updates may include bug fixes but didn't mention any changelog about them.

My OS now is:

6.0.1
Baseband Version: G930FXXU1APD1

Build Number: MMB29K.G930FXXU1APD1

Security Software Version:

MDF v2.0 Release 6
VPN v1.4 Release 6.1

Android Security Patch Level April 2, 2016

Just did a manual check and I have no update. Which carrier and country are you?

Don't know which carrier and country the OP is on but that update has been rolled out, so far, to the Global model for the Nordic Countries, unbranded phone on CSC code, NEE. Also to unbranded phones for, UAE, Germany, Iraq, South Africa and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg... pop: 1/2 million.

Not here in the USA.

As always, updates for the carrier branded minority variants, non Global, are at the discretion of the individual carriers concerned.

EDIT: Carrier branded models for Korea... KT Corp; LG Uplus and SK Telecom have also updated to the April Security patch on release PD1... build date 01 APR 2016.

New Verizon S7 under 2 weeks old still on February 1 patch although did get an update on day 2, evidently not a security patch.

Posted via S7, much loved S3 or Tab 3 8.0

Seems there is more than meets the eye with the latest PD1 updates that the Global S7 & Edge models are currently receiving, as this article explains...

Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge updated with touch improvements

"The new software build (version XXUQAPD1) boasts that touch screen palm rejection is now much better than before, so S7 Edge owners should find that there are fewer accidental presses when using the phone in one hand. The new shape correction feature can now be found as a dedicated toggle under the main camera app’s settings menu. The option states that it corrects distorted shapes in and pictures that you take, although it’s not exactly clear how this works or what it applies to specifically. There are also a selection of smaller improvements to device performance and bug fixes included in the update as well."
