We all remember what happened to Huawei in the past few years.Skeptics said that this was the end, but the company proved that it has something to counter the decision that deprived it of the ability to fully use Google services.At first, it was possible to bypass locks relatively easily.Then it was possible to use almost full-fledged WEB-versions of applications.And now there is again a way to use full-fledged applications and services on your phone in native mode.I tested it myself after I bought the Huawei Mate 50 Pro.I can say that this is still not entirely native and there are no services on the phone out of the box, but anyone can install them in just a couple of clicks.Since the cancellation, the process of returning services has never been easier.
Now installing apps on Huawei is as easy as ever.

What are the limitations of Huawei
Three years have passed since Huawei has been actively developing its own ecosystem and developing applications that can replace Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Maps and others.There is even a replacement for YouTube, but it is simply impossible to compete with this service, since everyone is very used to it and to the authors of the videos that are posted there.And while Google maps can be replaced with Huawei maps, which are very functional, it is quite difficult to replace the text and spreadsheet editor.
AppGallery has a huge number of applications.According to Huawei itself, there are more than one million of them.But in order not to get used to something new, you can simply install the familiar applications from Google and not only.So you can return WhatsApp, YouTube, Google Docs and others.
All applications are now installed as easily as before.
Is it possible to install Google on Huawei
There are Quick Apps that do not require installation on a smartphone, but there is also the option to download an emulator program.These methods work, although they have some limitations.

An alternative and most convenient way is the Gbox application, which appeared in AppGallery not so long ago.Interestingly, it was created by independent developers, and not by Huawei itself.
By installing this application, you can download Google services without any dancing with a tambourine.At the same time, there will be no limitation of functionality and stability of work.Especially if you have a fairly powerful smartphone.It is not worth worrying about the fact that setting the provisions will be dangerous in terms of smartphone performance or the risk of catching viruses.
Gone are the days when installing apps on Huawei was difficult.
How to install apps on Huawei
GBox is available in the AppGallery app store on all Huawei devices that do not have Google services.If we enter the query “YouTube” in the search bar in the AppGallery, we will immediately get the result marked “Run in GBox”.Already, this method of downloading applications supports more than 20 Google applications, other programs and services that have decided not to be published in the AppGallery.
Apps that can be downloaded this way include:
- Microsoft Teams
- YouTube Music
- Google Drive
- Google Slides
- Google Photos
- Twitch
- Google Maps
- line
- YouTube
- Google Sheets
- Discord
- Spotify
- Microsoft One Drive
- HBO Max
- Google classroom
- Google One
- google planet earth
- Duolingo
- Zoom
- Steam
Some of these applications do not work in Russia, but if you need them for some reason, you can install them.At the same time, it will soon be possible to download all other Google applications / services.
When you click the download button for the desired application, for example, WhatsApp, you will additionally be prompted to install Gbox (if it was not installed earlier).In this case, you must agree, install Gbox and give it all the necessary permissions.
If after installing Gbox its window does not open automatically, click on its shortcut that will appear on the desktop.After that, you will only have to open WhatsApp, as in our example, or another downloaded application, and use it normally, starting with granting it permissions.
Search for the application in AppGallery and just download it.That’s how it works.
The best part is that this method is almost native and differs from the usual installation of applications from Google Play with only a couple of additional clicks.For developers, there was a lot more work, but for ordinary users this is not important.
The GBox application itself takes up almost no space on the device and is the safest way to download applications to Huawei smartphones.
Is it difficult to use Huawei
As you can see, using Huawei is getting easier.The company itself and third-party developers make the usage process as close as possible to what it was before Google refused to cooperate.An example would be a convenient search for applications through Petal Search or the GBox option discussed above.
There are already many applications, and there will be even more.
Not so long ago, I myself took the risk of buying a Huawei Mate 50 Pro and now I understand that I can fully use it.Since trying to master the Huawei Mate 40 Pro a couple of years ago, which was brought to us for review, everything has become much easier, and the brand’s smartphones have really become easy to use and understand.I would even say familiar.
