Hi there,
Here at Samsung we are always very keen to get your feedback on anything you feel will help to improve our products and services. The Community is no exception.
In fact, given that the Community was designed to be driven by its users, it would be a little remiss if we didn’t look to feed your ideas directly into the Communities future development.
I look forward to reading your comments and to working with you on shaping our Samsung Community.

Hello @AntS
I'm not sure if this has ever been the case.
Personally I'm not always after the newest firmware i.e. Nougat to Oreo as my phone is very stable.
I apprecaite Samsung will want as many devices as possible on the newest firmwares but for me Security Patches hold more importance.
So my feedback is would it ever be viable to be able to update my Security Patches on my phone separately away from firmware updates.
Thats the more control over my phone that I would want.

Hi @BandOfBrothers.
You should be able to check for and install any security updates separately to firmware updates on your S8.
Settings > Lock Screen and security > Other Security Settings > Security Policy Updates. It'll bring up this screen:
Unless you're meaning something different to these? :unsure:

Ah so this avenue allows me to update my Security Patch which is currently on December 2017 to the newest one once its available @AntS ?

Update.
My phone was sent the Oreo Firmware update.
So I navigated to the settings section you mentioned @AntS
All up to date.
Waited then tried again the next day with the same result.
Updated to Oreo and my Security Patch has now updated to Feb 18.

Hey @M33hul,
There's an active thread referring to this on our Galaxy S9 | S9+ board. We'd recommend having a read here for further info.

@JAMES4578: Can't say I'm the biggest fan of the "click the pics until there are none left" type captcha. I've not encountered the security code bit myself yet.

@AntS, well the picture captcha can some times be annoying Have not had security code come up again,
