As this post is trending quicker and more than I would have expected it to, I would like to add to this story: It appears to be a similar case across the MENA region. While the SMEX post primarily focuses on WANA, it is possible to find other reports (e.g. [1]) from the MENA region that describe similar practices by Samsung. There, however, the stories talk about "Aura", rather than "AppCloud". [1] https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2025/06/212144/samsung-embe... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Same same. SMEX is based in Lebanon — (S)WANA is an obnoxious term that’s going around for MENA. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I used to manage an enterprise fleet of mobile devices. This AppCloud crap has also been pushed to devices in the Europe Open Market. I also know that this shouldn't have been installed on enterprise devices (either Android Enterprise managed by MDM or E-FOTA managed - don't remember exactly). We had an akward conversation with some Samsung representatives.. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
