Although it may seem, the fact is that until now we have not had any official confirmation of the fact Huawei phones with no Google services will not have a monitoring program developed by Apple and Google for the purpose of combating the COVID-19 epidemic.
This has been proven by the company itself Tech Radar, which shows that only your devices have been released before May 2019 They will install a tracking and monitoring system that will let users know once they have been diagnosed with other people infected with the virus.
Unless it's bad news – both are users of Huawei devices, who can't use this function; But the alternative, as Chinese commercial devices are widely distributed and the fact that some of their variants are not compatible with the system may affect their performance to some extent – in fact. they shouldn't surprise anyone now
As we already know, this program will be released with an update to Google Play Services. Those being left to Huawei and Honor's warehouses due to a collision with the United States, eventually resulted in a veto preventing a Chinese company from working with most American companies.
Only the latest Huawei phones aren't compatible with Apple and Google's operating system
Decide Huawei and Honor devices will be compatible with this program It's not complicated: those terminals that, from the start, are included Google Store and other Google apps like Chrome, Maps or YouTube- will install this API and, therefore, its users will have the opportunity to participate in the program and be monitored to monitor their movements and to determine whether, at any time, they have met someone infected with COVID-19.
On the other hand, those with models that do not have Google Play services, such as the Huawei P40 series models, including the popular Huawei P40 Lite, will not receive a compatible update from Google Play Services, so they will not be compatible with the new API. Today, the list of Huawei phones sold outside China without Google Play services is made up of the following methods – including the facilities opened under the Honor brand -:
- Huawei P40
- Huawei P40 Pro
- Huawei P40 Pro +
- Huawei P40 Lite
- Huawei Mate 30
- Huawei Mate 30
- Huawei Mate Xs
- PORSCHE DESIGN HUAWEI Mate 30 RS
- Honor View30 Pro
- Honor 9X Pro
But Huawei's latest phones won't be the only devices not compatible with the program. As we expected last week, approximately 2 billion people will be forced to switch mobile if they wanted to use this system, with the simple fact of not having enough modern devices, the lack of connectivity technology on which this tracking system was based, such as Bluetooth technology Minor Power either SEE.
