My 4 and half year old S7 just got the September security update

This is a great sign of commitment from Samsung. With their announcement of 3 years of committed OS updates it seems security updates will be available even longer....

Note: This is **not** a support request, but I just wanted to share it here as a warning, and I am [not the first user](https://support.google.com/photos/thread/106201?hl=en) to experience this.
