Just this month last year, a veto filed by the United States that prevented Huawei from using Google's services and applications in the normal way came into effect. In fact, its latest facilities, including the Huawei P40 Lite, do not have Google applications as standard and are not compatible with American company services.
In a review of the P40 Lite we noted that it is very possible to use it without Google's services and applications, even if it did not disturb other users. It seems like Huawei is very close to solving this problem, though not entirely.
Huawei's new app lets you install WhatsApp, Facebook …
As we learn from XDA Developers Huawei would have launched a search app that allows users to easily install most of the apps that have been blocked so far, including some from Google.
The system is at an experimental stage and is now active in several countries, such as Germany or France. We know nothing about Spain but we have contacted Huawei Spain and will update the article when it responds.
Huawei's official move
The introduction of such a request may raise some doubts about whether Huawei is actually implementing it. We know this is true because of the official YouTube channel under Germany in this video where we see how to download popular apps like WhatsApp:
By the same description we have a search app link, which we have copied and tested. If you want to install it you can do it from this link. By the way, the translation of the website name is "The promise of the future», a complete declaration of intent.
The app in Germany is called App44, which means «Search apps».
Check your App
We installed the app and realized that it covers the most important applications depending on the country we are in. For example, among the most important are WhatApp, Facebook or Instagram.
What the app does take us to places where we can download an APK for these apps, from other stores like the Amazon AppStore to official pages such as WhatsApp.
However, the most important thing is that there is also connectivity with features like APK Monk, where we can download other Google apps like Google Maps and Chrome.
The biggest step for not being dependent on Google
It is quite clear that the company will not put Huawei higher than other brands like Samsung or Xiaomi in what you have seen with major barriers we had while recommending Huawei phone purchases, not being able to install easily unless you are an advanced user, apps like Facebook or WhatsApp.
There is currently no official statement, although it is expected to happen in the coming days, as long as there is no conflict with intellectual property as the link to specific sites and APK requests has surprised us.
