Network carrier AT&T is rolling out the Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 update for Samsung Galaxy S6 Active. The rollout started from July 5 and will continue for all the users until the end of the month.
The Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 update will be released in a gradual manner for all the users, according to Android Authority. It will eventually roll out to all the users in the United States in the coming weeks.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Active users can check their devices to see if they are prompted for an update or not. To do so, they need to go to Settings> About Phone> Check for Software Update.
The Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 update is around 1440MB in size, so the Samsung Galaxy S6 Activer users are advised to download the update on a reliable and stable Wi-Fi connection. The users can also download the Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 update on their phone's network but in doing so, they would incur very high data charges, so it is not recommended.
