Why Android is superior!

There is almost always a way to be able to do the things you need your phone to do for you, even if companies like Verizon block a feature that is built into your device.

Case in point, Verizon blocks Samsung Cloud on all phones, even unlocked. I have unblocked it and created shortcuts to do so.

Next on my list, unblocking Samsung's Battery Health page with Battery health % and cycle counts. That Samsung has deemed in the US that you are not allowed to see because it is not mandated by law. Even though Google has added this feature in Android 16.

They are artificially created issues by my carrier, that being Verizon. They block Samsung Cloud on devices on their network. I have unblocked it.

I have an app that allows me to see hidden settings. In the hands of an inexperienced person I will not disclose the name of the app.

That is for you to research.

Glad I don't have that issue. Can conduct both Samsung and Google backups. Have Boost as my carrier on my unlocked phone.
