Verizon- pie update?

Unless you bought a Verison from Best Buy and just figured out it is an unlocked version. So some of us are truly waiting on Verizon.
Mine is from a Best Buy mobile store, but I had no trouble updating to pie from firmware science. Why would best buy version be unlocked?
 
I'm also on Verizon, side loaded pie and have Samsung Cloud. I've had it all along. Screenshot_20190225-064118_Finder.jpeg
 
I'm on Verizon. I didn't have Samsung Cloud before the update and I don't have it after the update that I side loaded.
 
I have a VZW note 9 and have Samsung cloud on Pie.

Yep. I do as well. I didnt have it on Oreo. Curious as if to see if other Verizon users get access to it when they install the OTA instead of side loading. I wouldn't think it would matter but curious to see.
 
Try going to settings, the accounts and see if Samsung Account is there.

Thank you. Found it after I click on Samsung account>services>Samsung cloud>add app cloud to app screen. Guess that is why I never had it. Never new where it was lol

Yep. I have Samsung account. I'm logged in and use the Samsung+ app and Samsung pay every day. I think you have to be logged in to have those apps active. No cloud though. To my knowledge, Verizon blocked that a while ago. I've never had access to it that I can remember.

I disabled Verizon's cloud lol
 
I have a Verizon Note 9 (N960U) Currently on ARL1. If I sideload and upgrade to CSAA and then Verizon releases a newer firmware from ARL1 to CSAX, how will I be able to upgrade to that?
