There are exceptions however, which we will update to the FAQ when they become available. At present, there are 2 devices launched since March 2020: the P30 Lite New Edition and P smart2020, that will still have GMS installed and will continue to receive normal updates.\n\nAlso, please be aware that the Three App will work only if you choose to use the Phone Clone App (more details of which are below) from your previous device into your new device. If you choose to download from AppGallery (by searching Three), you will find a “quick app” available which will direct you to log in to your Three account.\n\nThe new Huawei P40 Pro \/ Huawei Mate Xs \/ Huawei P40 Lite 5G runs on Android 10 with EMUI 10, but doesn’t support Google apps and services, including Google Play Store.\n\nLots of Apps are available from the Huawei AppGallery, and can also often be transferred from your own phone using the Huawei Phone Clone app.\n\nYou can also download ‘Petal Search - Find Apps’, which is a new search tool that allows Huawei smartphone owners to search and find everything they need - including apps, news, images and more. Find out more here: [https:\/\/consumer.huawei.com\/uk\/campaign\/favourite-apps\/](https:\/\/consumer.huawei.com\/uk\/campaign\/favourite-apps\/)\n\n### Will I be able to use Google Play store like any other android device?\nNew Huawei devices come with their own apps platform called Huawei AppGallery, which is similar to Google Play. It has over 50,000 apps available to download and use.\n\nThere are multiple ways to get apps you want. You can try Phone Clone in the first instance, or you can search for the app you need via the AppGallery. Alternatively, you can use Petal Search - this can be downloaded from the AppGallery. If none of these methods work, we would suggest that you use web version of the app. You can put the app in the AppGallery wishlist to request this app to be available in the future, and you can also visit Huawei community for more information.\n\n### What apps will\/won't be available?\nUtilising the recommended Huawei Phone Clone, Huawei AppGallery, Petal Search – Find Apps as well as the App Developers Official Websites, we've summarised ways in which you can get most of your favourite apps onto your new Huawei Device. It's also recommended that you use the Official Huawei Community <https:\/\/consumer.huawei.com\/uk\/community\/> and the Huawei Online Support Team <https:\/\/consumer.huawei.com\/uk\/support\/> to maximise your experience.\n\nHuawei Petal Search – Find Apps: <https:\/\/s.cloud.huawei.com\/app\/home>\n\n### How to login to and use App Gallery\nYou'll be asked to log in during set up of the device. You don't need an existing Huawei ID to do this, you can create one if required and the app accepts 3rd party email address\/password combinations.\n\n### App limitations of apps you can download (i.e. location services, banking apps)\nSome apps will be available for download but might not fully work on the device because of embedded technologies which require services from Google, such as their maps or payment platforms. However, Huawei will offer alternative apps that should give you a similar experience. The Three app is still in development and testing for the AppGallery. For now, our services would need to be accessed via the website.\n\n### Will my apps from my old phone be compatible with these new phones?\nMore information on this is available on the Huawei VIP support page. You can access it [here](https:\/\/consumer.huawei.com\/uk\/support\/).\n\n### Do I need Huawei ID to log in to AppGallery?\nNo. You can create an account with an email address and password. Similar to Google Play, where you do not need a Gmail account. However, it’s recommended that a customer uses a Huawei ID to experience the best out of their new Huawei device. Customers who create or enter a valid Huawei ID when they switch on their new device will automatically gain access to 5GB lifetime cloud storage. Mate Xs 5G customers will receive a complimentary upgrade to a 50GB storage plan for the first year.\n\n### If I use the Huawei Phone Clone app to transfer my apps across to my new Huawei App Gallery Phone will they still work?\nMost applications will transfer successfully and have the same experience as you currently have on your old device. If there’s a mandatory app update required whilst using the HMS device you may be able to update this through AppGallery or the Petal Search - Find Apps tool. Make sure you’re using the latest version of Petal Search when doing so.\n\n### Do Huawei devices purchased after March 2020 (excluding the ones mentioned at the start of the FAQs) come with pre-installed Google Mobile Services (GMS)? \/ Will there be Google Mobile Services?\nThese devices will not have GMS pre-installed. Users will have access to the apps in the Huawei AppGallery or Petal Search- Find Apps widget which is pre-installed on Huawei smartphones.\n\n### Will the absence of GMS affect users from using Facebook, Twitter and other apps?\nIndividual app experiences may vary depending on how much each app requires use of GMS. There are many apps available in the AppGallery that will not be impacted at all. You can also find other useful apps via Petal Search.\n\n### Does this mean I will not have Google Apps installed \/ If the phone does not have GMS, how do I use Google Apps?\nIn the first instance you can use the Huawei Phone Clone app to transfer most of your existing apps on your current handset.\n\nYou’ll also have access to the apps in the Huawei AppGallery which is pre-installed on Huawei smartphones or from the Petal Search – Find Apps widget which can be used to search for apps that you’re looking for.\n\n### What is Petal Search – Find Apps Widget?\nPetal Search – Find Apps Widget is a search that allows Huawei smartphone owners to search for and find the things they need including apps, news, images and more directly from their home screen. Huawei AppGallery is completely integrated to Petal Search – Find Apps Widget and apps already in the Huawei AppGallery appear at the top of any search.\n\nPetal Search – Find Apps will come pre-installed on devices in the near future. Existing owners can find the tool in Huawei’s AppGallery.\n\n### How does Petal Search – Find Apps Widget work?\nBy crawling and navigating the World Wide Web using crawling technology. Petal Search – Find Apps also leverages customised information to provide diverse and up to the date information aggregating apps, news, movies, music images and more, to provide a diverse mobile search experience for users.\n\n### Is it legal to search and download apps from a third party source?\nHuawei doesn’t have any control over the apps downloaded from a third party source nor any liability for information published on third-party websites or the third-party apps that are simply listed in search results.\n\nHuawei complies with laws and regulations in different territories as well as best practice principles in the industry. Huawei aspires to provide users with the best search experiences, but will never compromise commitment to protecting copyright and IPR, as well as the rights of Huawei users, or it’s principle of being fair and just.\n\n### Can I use Google Search on the Huawei Browser?\nYou can use HUAWEI Browser to open the home page of Google Search for searching.\n\n### Can I migrate my contacts, photos, calendar by Phone Clone?\nPhone Clone can be used to migrate most of the data, such as your contacts, photos, and calendar.\n\n### Does my device support In-App Purchases (IAP)?\nYour device supports In-App Purchases (IAP), such as payment by bank card and mobile phone billing. (Google Pay is not supported).\n\n### Will the personal data stored in financial apps still be safe after a Phone Clone operation is performed?\nPlease be assured that Phone Clone will only transfer apps from the existing device to a new one. Your ID and password will not be copied.\n\n### Is it safe to download\/install GMS on Huawei phones?\nHuawei phones are not pre-installed with GMS\/Google apps and it’s your choice to download\/install GMS. However, we strongly recommend that you use HUAWEI AppGallery to download apps.\n\n### What alternatives will Huawei provide to consumers to replace Google apps and services, for example GPS navigation?\nHuawei AppGallery launched in April 2018 globally, and is preloaded on every Huawei device. There are many choices for consumers when it comes to the apps they use on a daily basis, including a variety of services for maps including TomTom, email and video content. Customers are free to download any other apps they wish to online.\n\n### What is Huawei doing to solve ecosystem issues for overseas launch?\nIn April 2018, the Huawei AppGallery was released globally and Huawei is continuing to develop its own ecosystem – Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) which has always welcomed global developers so together we can create a better experience for global consumers.\n\n### What is Huawei Mobile Services (HMS)?\nHuawei Mobile Services is a collection of apps and services Huawei provides on all new Huawei HMS \/ AppGallery handsets (including Huawei AppGallery, Browser, ID, Cloud, Music, Video, etc). It’s similar to both the Google and Apple services that you may already be familiar with. HMS has the Huawei AppGallery which performs the same role as Google Play or Apple’s App Store. However, it doesn’t have the same app inventory and it’s recommended that you check what apps you can access via Petal Search first. In addition, it has its own integrated web browser and other software that you’ll commonly find on most smartphones.\n\n## Did you find this page useful?\nAny feedback you have helps us make your

Find out more here: [https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/campaign/favourite-apps/](https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/campaign/favourite-apps/) ### Will I be able to use Google Play store like any other android device? New Huawei devices come with their own apps platform called Huawei AppGallery, which is similar to Google Play. It has over 50,000 apps available to download and use. There are multiple ways to get apps you want. You can try Phone Clone in the first instance, or you can search for the app you need via the AppGallery. Alternatively, you can use Petal Search - this can be downloaded from the AppGallery. If none of these methods work, we would suggest that you use web version of the app. You can put the app in the AppGallery wishlist to request this app to be available in the future, and you can also visit Huawei community for more information. ### What apps will/won't be available? Utilising the recommended Huawei Phone Clone, Huawei AppGallery, Petal Search – Find Apps as well as the App Developers Official Websites, we've summarised ways in which you can get most of your favourite apps onto your new Huawei Device. It's also recommended that you use the Official Huawei Community <https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/community/> and the Huawei Online Support Team <https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/support/> to maximise your experience. Huawei Petal Search – Find Apps: <https://s.cloud.huawei.com/app/home> ### How to login to and use App Gallery You'll be asked to log in during set up of the device. You don't need an existing Huawei ID to do this, you can create one if required and the app accepts 3rd party email address/password combinations. ### App limitations of apps you can download (i.e. location services, banking apps) Some apps will be available for download but might not fully work on the device because of embedded technologies which require services from Google, such as their maps or payment platforms. However, Huawei will offer alternative apps that should give you a similar experience. The Three app is still in development and testing for the AppGallery. For now, our services would need to be accessed via the website. ### Will my apps from my old phone be compatible with these new phones? More information on this is available on the Huawei VIP support page. You can access it [here](https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/support/). ### Do I need Huawei ID to log in to AppGallery? No. You can create an account with an email address and password. Similar to Google Play, where you do not need a Gmail account. However, it’s recommended that a customer uses a Huawei ID to experience the best out of their new Huawei device. Customers who create or enter a valid Huawei ID when they switch on their new device will automatically gain access to 5GB lifetime cloud storage. Mate Xs 5G customers will receive a complimentary upgrade to a 50GB storage plan for the first year. ### If I use the Huawei Phone Clone app to transfer my apps across to my new Huawei App Gallery Phone will they still work? Most applications will transfer successfully and have the same experience as you currently have on your old device. If there’s a mandatory app update required whilst using the HMS device you may be able to update this through AppGallery or the Petal Search - Find Apps tool. Make sure you’re using the latest version of Petal Search when doing so. ### Do Huawei devices purchased after March 2020 (excluding the ones mentioned at the start of the FAQs) come with pre-installed Google Mobile Services (GMS)? / Will there be Google Mobile Services? These devices will not have GMS pre-installed. Users will have access to the apps in the Huawei AppGallery or Petal Search- Find Apps widget which is pre-installed on Huawei smartphones. ### Will the absence of GMS affect users from using Facebook, Twitter and other apps? Individual app experiences may vary depending on how much each app requires use of GMS. There are many apps available in the AppGallery that will not be impacted at all. You can also find other useful apps via Petal Search. ### Does this mean I will not have Google Apps installed / If the phone does not have GMS, how do I use Google Apps? In the first instance you can use the Huawei Phone Clone app to transfer most of your existing apps on your current handset. You’ll also have access to the apps in the Huawei AppGallery which is pre-installed on Huawei smartphones or from the Petal Search – Find Apps widget which can be used to search for apps that you’re looking for. ### What is Petal Search – Find Apps Widget? Petal Search – Find Apps Widget is a search that allows Huawei smartphone owners to search for and find the things they need including apps, news, images and more directly from their home screen. Huawei AppGallery is completely integrated to Petal Search – Find Apps Widget and apps already in the Huawei AppGallery appear at the top of any search. Petal Search – Find Apps will come pre-installed on devices in the near future. Existing owners can find the tool in Huawei’s AppGallery. ### How does Petal Search – Find Apps Widget work? By crawling and navigating the World Wide Web using crawling technology. Petal Search – Find Apps also leverages customised information to provide diverse and up to the date information aggregating apps, news, movies, music images and more, to provide a diverse mobile search experience for users. ### Is it legal to search and download apps from a third party source? Huawei doesn’t have any control over the apps downloaded from a third party source nor any liability for information published on third-party websites or the third-party apps that are simply listed in search results. Huawei complies with laws and regulations in different territories as well as best practice principles in the industry. Huawei aspires to provide users with the best search experiences, but will never compromise commitment to protecting copyright and IPR, as well as the rights of Huawei users, or it’s principle of being fair and just. ### Can I use Google Search on the Huawei Browser? You can use HUAWEI Browser to open the home page of Google Search for searching. ### Can I migrate my contacts, photos, calendar by Phone Clone? Phone Clone can be used to migrate most of the data, such as your contacts, photos, and calendar. ### Does my device support In-App Purchases (IAP)? Your device supports In-App Purchases (IAP), such as payment by bank card and mobile phone billing. (Google Pay is not supported). ### Will the personal data stored in financial apps still be safe after a Phone Clone operation is performed? Please be assured that Phone Clone will only transfer apps from the existing device to a new one. Your ID and password will not be copied. ### Is it safe to download/install GMS on Huawei phones? Huawei phones are not pre-installed with GMS/Google apps and it’s your choice to download/install GMS. However, we strongly recommend that you use HUAWEI AppGallery to download apps. ### What alternatives will Huawei provide to consumers to replace Google apps and services, for example GPS navigation? Huawei AppGallery launched in April 2018 globally, and is preloaded on every Huawei device. There are many choices for consumers when it comes to the apps they use on a daily basis, including a variety of services for maps including TomTom, email and video content. Customers are free to download any other apps they wish to online. ### What is Huawei doing to solve ecosystem issues for overseas launch? In April 2018, the Huawei AppGallery was released globally and Huawei is continuing to develop its own ecosystem – Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) which has always welcomed global developers so together we can create a better experience for global consumers. ### What is Huawei Mobile Services (HMS)? Huawei Mobile Services is a collection of apps and services Huawei provides on all new Huawei HMS / AppGallery handsets (including Huawei AppGallery, Browser, ID, Cloud, Music, Video, etc). It’s similar to both the Google and Apple services that you may already be familiar with. HMS has the Huawei AppGallery which performs the same role as Google Play or Apple’s App Store. However, it doesn’t have the same app inventory and it’s recommended that you check what apps you can access via Petal Search first. In addition, it has its own integrated web browser and other software that you’ll commonly find on most smartphones. ## Did you find this page useful?

Readable Markdown	Please note that the following FAQ’s are for newer Huawei devices that have been launched since March 2020. There are exceptions however, which we will update to the FAQ when they become available. At present, there are 2 devices launched since March 2020: the P30 Lite New Edition and P smart2020, that will still have GMS installed and will continue to receive normal updates. Also, please be aware that the Three App will work only if you choose to use the Phone Clone App (more details of which are below) from your previous device into your new device. If you choose to download from AppGallery (by searching Three), you will find a “quick app” available which will direct you to log in to your Three account. The new Huawei P40 Pro / Huawei Mate Xs / Huawei P40 Lite 5G runs on Android 10 with EMUI 10, but doesn’t support Google apps and services, including Google Play Store.
