This is not as straightforward as it used to be:

- Go to Settings > Apps
- Search "play"
- Tap on Google Play Services
- Scroll down and tap "App details in store"
- Tap the update button if there is one
- Reboot

To  update Google Play services, there are several options. 

1. You can go to settings/about phone/software information and tap repeatedly on "Google Play system update" until you get the update screen, or

2. Go to settings/security and privacy/updates (ignore the green check mark, if visible) and tap on Google Play system update.

Im getting the same thing and my phone says its updated when I go through about phone.

I also continue to get notified that I need to open Samsung Health at least once...amongst other repeat notifications.
