It just downloaded now, have no idea.
edit: so much for checking heat on my phone, it's burning a hole in my pocket optimizing apps right now.

Mine just finished, took less than 15 minutes, most of that 'app optimization'. All appears to be well.

It's still the same February 1st security update that the phone came with. Wonder what changed???....

Make sure you enable all packages that you have disabled before running the update

After. Only difference I can tell is my phone burnt my hand as it was finishing and I picked out up and lost 18%

Or what happens? I ask because I didn't re-enable any packages that I've disabled, yet the update went through and everything is fine. And Package Disabler Pro still shows those packages as disabled following the update.

I forgot, seems to be ok. What's the downside?

Got update 30 minutes ago. What is the "Samsung browser" an earlier poster mentioned?

My Spectacular Samsung Galaxy S7Edge

It a great browser with adblock. For some reason, Verizon does not allow Samsung's own browser to work on this phone. You can't download it from the app store.
