It's unclear if the update brings anything other than the latest security enhancements; a few fixes for issues introduced by the Android Pie update could be on board. As far as the April 2019 security patch is concerned, it addresses five critical and dozens of high-risk vulnerabilities in the Android OS, as well as 15 that are exclusive to Samsung’s own software. Details on what trouble these vulnerabilities can cause can be seen at the company's dedicated security updates blog.
You should be able to download the latest update for your Galaxy S8 or S8+ over the air from the Software update submenu in the phone's settings app by tapping Download and install.
