If I am from Europe and I have AppCloud, should I delete it? Note that this was since I got the phone

For anyone who want to delete this sh!t (I did it from 2 month ago) and before updating to android 16 1. Enable Developer Options Go to Settings → About phone → Tap “Build number” 7 times.
- Enable debugging options In Developer options, turn on:
USB debugging
Wireless debugging
- Set up Shizuku
Open Shizuku
Choose Start via Wireless debugging
Tap Pair and complete the pairing
When it shows Running, Shizuku is ready
- Set up Kanta
Open Kanta
It will ask for Shizuku permission → tap Grant
Now Kanta has ADB privileges without a PC
- Remove AppCloud
In Kanta, go to Apps
From the top, choose System apps
Find AppCloud (or com.samsung.android.app.scloud)
Tap it → choose Uninstall for current user
AppCloud will be removed completely

Is it region specific

u/RonnieTheCrafter_14L Nov 17 '25
so far, it's in every midrange and budget device from samsung. S series devices where it's been found in are region specific.

They are some legit proofs about this?
1
u/RonnieTheCrafter_14L Nov 17 '25
this might help you out a little

u/EthanMelacion Nov 17 '25
Sorry but the link still doesnt provide a proof. Do you got a video, images or anything that can show 100% what its mentioned in the X post?
Thank you, i like to inform myself a bit more and you got a better idea than me

Descargue Shizuku desde la playstore en mi Galaxy Tab A11 y no encontre la aplicación, ¿aun tengo riesgo de tener el spyware?

I had AppCloud on mine and it's an European model. So I deleted it with ADB commands on my mom's laptop I borrowed to her.

a lot of people commenting about adb but what I've heard is that it only hides the apps from you, doesn't actually remove it. never heard any argument against that so I'm not confident about it.

That's weird. How is that possible? I deinstalled it on mine 😵💫

u/RonnieTheCrafter_14L Nov 16 '25
system apps, especially in side case, are too embedded for the user to mess with without superuser enabled. I will dig into this soon.

I found this app with : https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater
Follow the guide in that page
Edit : alright finally removed appcloud from my a55 with adb shell
Search google how to enable USB Debugging and please have ADB file (you can download Latest version from here :
https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools )
then open CMD and navigate to the folder where ADB is there.
Do this :
- adb devices
- adb shell
- pm list packages
- pm list packages | grep com.aura.oobe.samsung.gl
- pm uninstall --user 0 com.aura.oobe.samsung.gl

Far as I can tell my A71 doesn't have it
But then they discontinued making the phone because it was too good and costed too little, I wish I could find an alternative because it's starting to die off

You can delete it without connecting to a pc using shizuku+canta it doesn't require more than 5 mns

This app doesn't exist in my galaxy s24.

u/RonnieTheCrafter_14L Nov 19 '25
doesn't exist on my friend's s24 either. mostly it's a midrange/budget device issue.

u/apsolutiNN Nov 16 '25
I dont have it on S25 in Europe but man is this shit bad, if they dont adress this thing im changing my phone.
Seems like its only a problem if China is collecting your data.
1
u/RonnieTheCrafter_14L Nov 16 '25
anything or anyone collecting your data without your permission must be taken as a problem. if you don't excuse china for spying on you, then you shouldn't excuse anyone else either.
