     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.
