Samsung users report ‘unremovable’ Israeli bloatware AppCloud on devices

Samsung users across West Asia, North Africa, Europe, and South Asia are reporting that their devices contain unremovable bloatware called AppCloud. The software is linked to the Israeli firm ironSource, which has a history of creating invasive programs, raising concerns about covert data harvesting and privacy. According to digital rights groups, the application cannot be uninstalled without root access, reappears after system updates, and can potentially install other software without permission. Samsung has come under fire for its silence on the issue, failing to address the significant data access and control granted to the bloatware.
