This is the first software update rolled out by the magenta carrier for Samsung's 2018 flagships, and the rollout began on April 13, which means it should be available for all Galaxy S9 and S9+ owners on T-Mobile at this point. To download the update, open the Settings app on your phone, tap Software update, followed by Download updates manually. And if you're wondering what the April 2018 security patch offers, you can check out this link for all the details.
