Looking at the wider picture, the July 2021 security patch level is rather widespread by now. It has been deploying across the planet for a couple of weeks, encompassing 94 device models in 33 countries as of today.
Not keen on waiting for the new software to reach you on its own? That's understandable, and fortunately, not the only option at your disposal. To start with, try initiating an installation yourself by going to Settings > Software update > Download and install. Due to obvious reasons, this option is most likely to work if you're located in Brazil, or another country wherein the rollout has already begun.
But if that doesn't work and you have a Windows machine at your disposal, there's also the option of downloading full system images containing the new software from our firmware archives, then manually flashing them to your device. Just don't forget to back up your data in that case. Oh, and as for the security update at hand, the July 1st patch level is a pretty big deal for Bluetooth vulnerabilities, as per Samsung's own summary of its contents.
