Hello,

I was using the PDF Expert app on my iPad, and after i saved a file to my iCloud Drive the iCloud app appeared on my screen. Is this normal? And then a couple of hours latter, my iPhone gave me a notification that it added the iCloud app to my home screen. I just wanted to check to see if this is normal? It seemed weird at first that it would do this on both of my devices without a pop up asking about it. It's probably a silly question, but I just wanted to check.

Thanks so much

i think the app itself is in fact installed on your device, but just not showing, unless you set the iCloud switch to on.
i also used PDF Expert (until I fully switched to Adobe Acrobat) and PDF Expert has several settings and options on where to store files, including iCloud Drive.
i am not aware that just by saving to iCloud Drive that it would enable iCloud Drive app to appear.
