Verizon locked phone got an update for Samsung Cloud.

Today I saw some Samsung updates in the Samsung app and one was the elusive Samsung Cloud. It downloaded and updated fine but when I went to open the app it just vanished. Thought I was on to something there. So, Samsung Cloud is installed in these Verizon locked phones. Just need to find out how to rear it's ugly head.

Yes, Verizon scraped in on past phones. But I was able to get to working on the s10+

So when I saw it updating on the Ultra today, it has to be in there somewhere.

It's obviously about money, Verizon offered cloud service before Samsung, can't let people switch.

Same with the messaging, they allowed messaging and calling with your tablet long before Samsung or Apple gave the ability.

I did this, and it backed up some data, but I'm not sure how to access? It's there a Samsung Cloud app?

No it's usually found in the settings under accounts. Since you were able to back up you can try finding it by searching.

So, when I search for the cloud, it still doesn't show up like it does in your screenshot, I no longer use Nova Launcher as my home replacement. I wonder if there's a shortcut to create which can serve as the app shortcut for managing your cloud account? I swear it synced pics, texts, and some other things when I did it, but there's no app visible for me to access.
