Huawei improves AppGallery, now with more local apps

It's the new year. You may have gifted yourself a new Huawei Mate 30 or you want a fresh start with your old, but no less capable Huawei phone. Let us help you make the most of your device.

Now with more local apps

Make your Huawei phone its best version with apps from Huawei Mobile Services

The Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro are among the best devices to have come out of the market in recent years. With 40MP camera able to shoot cinematic masterpieces, reliably-powerful Kirin 990 chipset, and more it's easy to be overwhelmed by the features of this mammoth of a smartphone.

Huawei Mobile Services: Going Beyond Apps

If you don't know where to start, make the Huawei AppGallery your first stop. Why be satisfied by social networking apps when you can turn your smartphone into an all-in-one device through apps; after all, you have up to 256GB internal storage and Huawei Cloud Storage at your disposal.

The AppGallery

Huawei phones come with the Huawei AppGallery pre-installed. This convenient app that was made available not long ago hosts a wide variety of applications for entertainment, utility, productivity, and recreation.

It has the popular social media apps, WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook, and Instagram. For entertainment, it has Spotify, iflix, Viu, HOOQ, TikTok, SoundCloud, PUBG mobile, and more.

It also has utility tools such as PayMaya, GCash, OneDrive, PayPal among others. If you're planning your travels, you have Airbnb, Klook, Trivago, and more to use.

As you can see, it now has more local apps than ever.

Huawei AppGallery is continuously adding new apps to give Huawei Mate 30, Mate 30 Pro, and other Huawei phones the best smartphone experience.

Fresh Start

You may want the configuration of your new Huawei Mate 30 to be the same as your old device. You may have a Huawei phone that's a bit sluggish now and wish to start anew with a quick factory reset. Huawei Mobile Services makes this easy for you.

With Huawei ID, you can restore your phone's settings the way you want it. Here's how.

Fire up the Phone Clone app and select old and new phones, scan the QR code, select the data, and start migrating your apps.

Another way is through the Huawei AppGallery. Open the app, tap the Me icon, go to purchase history and begin reinstalling. You can also just search the apps you prefer through its search feature. 

If the apps you want are MIA, Huawei AppGallery listens to your woes. Just send an app request through the home page and wait until it gets added in the AppGallery roster of applications. 

Google Services? No Problem

If you're rethinking your purchase decision because of the lack of Google Apps, fret not. We have just the solution. 

Since the Huawei Mate 30 Pro is also an Android phone, you can also get apps from other app markets.

Your Huawei Mate 30 or Mate 30 Pro supports APK apps such as APKPure, APKMonk, and AppTaken. To cut the long story short, you can download your preferred apps not available in the Huawei AppGallery through these services. 

You can also fire up the good ol' Huawei Browser and search away. Gmail, YouTube, it's easy to get started.

Based on my experience, these apps are usable on the Mate30 Pro, no matter if it's downloaded from the Huawei AppGallery or from third party app galleries.

Here is the list of apps:

Games - Mobile Legends, Wordscapes, Candy Crush, PUBG Mobile, Homescapes
Tools - Microsoft Translator, SHAREit, Speedtest
Productivity - Microsoft Office, GlobeOne, Adobe, CamScanner, WPSOffice
Finance - GCash, BDO Personal Banking, PayMaya, PayPal
Entertainment - iflix, Viu, SM Cinema, HOOQ, Amazon Prime Video

Overall, Huawei Mobile Services continue to expand. In just a few months, Huawei's ecosystem has grown exponentially and is now home to all the apps one may need.

This quick growth is a testament to Huawei's capabilities as a smartphone manufacturer and now a trustworthy mobile services innovator.
