Huawei App Gallery has a new intuitive interface
Back in 2019, Huawei lost access to Google Apps and Services including Play Store. The company could keep using Android since it’s based on Linux and the AOSP branch can be freely used and modified. Without PlayStore, Huawei had to work and deploy its own store where users can find and download applications for its Huawei-branded phones. The answer to the problem came in the form of Huawei App Gallery. The company’s app store now has over 500 million monthly active users worldwide. The store also has a set of important apps like Hungama, Bolt, and HERE Maps. Furthermore, the company now has a new and intuitive interface for the App Gallery
