Yikes, I just got the update notification on my phone while I was browsing the eShop.

I wasn’t prompted to update when I launched eShop, and I disconnected and deleted my internet settings immediately, so I think I’m safe.

But to be sure, how do I check if the update was downloaded?

If memory serves, instead of showing your system version in settings it'll say something like "Your system is ready to update" if you have it downloaded.

In case the PSA @hippy dave posted up wasn't enough:

Seriously, do not update past 7.0.1 (especially not an ipatched unit) if you want CFW.

How do people have cfw on a patched unit? I'm pretty new to the switch hacking scene is there a software exploit in a certain firmware to get cfw on patched units?

From what I understand there has been a "secret" (unreleased) software exploit for some time, and now that Nintendo has patched it, there's no reason to keep it a secret anymore.
