Much has been said about Huawei and its battle with the United States. However, and although the future of Huawei’s mobile division is uncertain, we have to break a spear in favor of the myth that surrounds the issue of applications. The truth is that although Google apps do not arrive installed as standard on their devices (some will even applaud this absence of “bloatware”) the truth is that we have more options than ever to install any app on our Huawei terminal.
Undoubtedly motivated by the United States veto, Huawei has worked hard for its users to find all possible options and alternatives. Myths must be banished, and it must be made clear that Huawei mobiles can have WhatsApp, Facebook, Google Maps and all applications. What options do Huawei mobiles offer to download apps in 2020?
Methods to download apps on Huawei
Google play
The bazaar of Google applications is still fully accessible to Huawei mobiles despite the fact that many users think otherwise, or are nervous about not seeing it installed on their terminals. We have seen how some Huawei terminals launched in 2020 do come with Google Services, but in those that do not, the solution is at hand.
Google Play can be installed on Huawei mobiles as we have seen on some more recent devices such as the Huawei P40 Lite. The solution is to install an app called “Chat Partner” that will install the GSM on our mobile including Google Play to download apps from this bazaar as usual.
App Gallery
This app bazaar was somewhat forgotten in Europe. Huawei knew that its users entered Google Play more and there was little point in dedicating efforts and potential resources to this repository. However, App Gallery is more interesting than ever, since Huawei has been in charge of improving it and filling it with more applications every day.
This app comes pre-installed on all Huawei mobiles, and if not, it can be downloaded from its official website. In addition, it is compatible with other mobiles, so it is becoming a “sweety” in Google’s shoe, which grows day by day and from which we can download hundreds of thousands of applications.
Petal Search
It is the latest ingenuity from Huawei so that users can find any app in seconds. It is a search engine (previously known as Huawei Search) that can be found by any app, making an intelligent search in the “apks” of the most known and reliable repositories such as APKPure, Aptoide, APKMonk or APKMirror.
The function is available on the latest devices of the firm updated to EMUI 10, although we can also download it easily and install it on the brand’s mobiles. Within the app we will see a search engine in which, for example, we can write WhatsApp or Facebook and we will be shown results to download the app instantly.
Classical methods
We can also use the most classic methods to get any app on our Huawei mobile. These methods go through taking a look at the classic online repositories, such as those mentioned above. It is as simple as entering each website and searching for the app you want, we can do it from our mobile phone since they are all adapted to your navigation.
The second method is to download an installable alternative to our mobile, that is, one of the other rivals that exist both from Google Play and from the Huawei App Gallery itself. In this sense, we have some options known as AppToide or the Amazon app store .
