While the challenges between the US and Huawei might be behind us (or not), users still face difficulties enjoying Huawei phones with Google Services out of the box. Many models, like the new Huawei Pura 70, do not come with Google Mobile Services (GMS), making it tough for users. Fortunately, Huawei now allows easy installation of Google Play Services. Your device must be running EMUI 14, which will soon be available for older models.
Due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. on Huawei, many users have found it challenging to access Google Play Services on their Huawei devices. However, with the right tools and steps, it is still possible to enjoy Google apps and services on Huawei smartphones. Here’s a simple guide to get Google Services on your Huawei phone:
Prerequisites
To start, your device must be running EMUI 14. If your device isn’t yet updated, check for the latest software updates. Huawei is rolling out EMUI 14 to many older models, so ensure your device is up-to-date.

Instead, they run directly from your device and can be found in your device settings.
Summary
By following these steps, you can enjoy Google Services on your Huawei device, ensuring access to Google Apps and the Play Store.
