Many custom ROMs have adapted the October security patch well in advance. Meanwhile, we can probably count by hadn't how many Android phones out there that are up to date.

You can also search the settings to see if something is wrong, or the updatee added or turned on a feature.
Anyway, some people suggest factory resetting your phone after an update(especially of it is an incremental one, like from 5.1 to 6.0 marshmallow).
But i think its a better option to take it to the shop or the samsung store you bought it from and ask them about it, if the problem doesn't fix itself in a few days.

Android phones are for the masses, for those who want their devices to work "good enough" in order to complete an action or task. iOS and Windows are for those who want more than "good enough".

Samsung's way of pushing out updates is something I'll never understand. Why can't they push out security patches to all the phones at once?
The 2016 A5 gets the October patch, but the 2016 A7 is still on the July patch.

Choose one.new android without the latest monthly security updates is useless. i prefer stability and security, compared to the latest "but buggy" android.
Actually the monthly update is not just plain security updates, it often includes some improvements and bug fixes for the current android.
