Huawei is still immersed in its struggle to try to ensure that Google is not the center of the Android universe. Their new mobiles arrive without the services of the search giant, while the pre-veto models continue to function as if nothing had happened. The controversy arose yesterday when the Washington Post suggested that the end of the “TGL” license was also the end of updates for older Huawei phones.
This information suggested that phones prior to the US ban, that is, those that were launched with Google Services, will stop receiving critical security updates in the future. Precisely the temporary TGL license has allowed Huawei to continue operating and maintaining its equipment with various North American companies.
Updates yes or no?
Having finished this license, many users have wondered what will happen to their mobiles and whether or not they will be able to continue receiving software updates. Now, Huawei has settled the controversy with a message that makes the future of these devices clear. Huawei has responded to the Huawei Central media on the matter , in addition to corroborating the same to the doubts of some users on Twitter.
As explained by the company, “Our clients will be able to continue receiving software and service updates thanks to the strength of the open source community and our own advanced R&D capabilities,” commented the company, also emphasizing that “phones With Google Play factory installed, all applications downloaded from Google Play and other Google applications will continue to receive updates. For phones that don’t come with Google Play, new apps and updates can be managed through Huawei’s AppGallery, pre-installed.
Hi there, thank you for your message. There is no impact on existing devices. We will continue to share security and software updates to our devices, as we always have. If you have any questions, please let us know via DM.

Restless users
The company has also responded affirmatively to a user on Twitter , who asked about his Huawei Nova 5T, and whether or not it will continue to receive software updates and Google Services after the license expires. The Chinese company has also stated that software and security updates will continue to arrive “as we always have.” Therefore and according to the main one involved, that is, Huawei itself, pre-veto mobiles from the United States will continue to receive security updates and updates from Google Services, while the new models will do the same but with HSM (Services Huawei phones) something that was already taken for granted.
