Galaxy apps asking to update a non existent app

[Teoni]

Samsung galaxy apps is asking me to update an app that is apparently preloaded onto my phone. I didn't recognise the app so I looked for it in my phone and I don't see it in any app list. Is this some sort of scam or bug? Is there a way to get rid of the update notification?

Thanks in advance for any help

Which app is it? Can't you find it in settings - apps - show system?

Yahoo finance edge panel. I have looked under settings and still cannot find this app.

I'm going to move your thread to the S7 Edge forum where it'll be easier getting feedback from other owners. Most likely that's a preinstalled app/widget but I can't know for sure.

Ok, I wasn't sure myself which topic was more appropriate. Thanks

Try this, go to settings - apps - three dots top right - show system - search that app as 'Finance' - force stop - storage - clear data and restart the phone.
