It is an OTA update which means users should get the update notification automatically once it becomes available for their particular unit. But they can also check for it manually by visiting phone's Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates. Once the update becomes available, it is recommended to connect to a WiFi to avoid any unwanted cellular data charges.
