⚡️📱 ICYMI - Samsung is facing a wave of criticism over AppCloud, a bloatware app developed in Israel and pre-installed on entry-level Galaxy A and M series devices.

The investigation reveals that the app is integrated into the operating system, preventing it from being completely uninstalled. Even when disabled, AppCloud remains on the device, reappears after updates, and can surreptitiously install additional software and collect data.

🔴 What AppCloud does:

- Collects location, IP, digital fingerprints, usage habits
- Recommends apps without clear consent
- Impossible to completely uninstall (can only be disabled)
