  Indeed, on my Samsung Galaxy A56 (Android) there is indeed a 'Files'
app in the (Settings ->) 'Apps' list. (And I of course have the Samsung
'My Files' app. I do not have the 'Google Files' app.)

  BTW, contrary to your other post, I do not have to "Toggle Show system
apps to ON" to see the mystery 'Files' app. I already saw it, before I
toggled the switch to ON.

  Mystery solved.
