users are mainly asking about how it is with Google applications.At the same time, the Chinese manufacturer has done a huge amount of work and practically anything can be uploaded to its phones - just like you were used to in the past.How to do it?Before we focus on how to install your favorite apps on any Huawei phone, let's dive into the history.How did it actually happen that the Chinese lost the number one position in the smartphone field and got into the current situation?In May 2019, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, placed Huawei on the list of so-called undesirable companies.Entities on this "blacklist" - including another Chinese giant ZTE and later Xiaomi - were no longer allowed to cooperate with their existing partners based in the USA.In practice, this meant extreme trouble for Huawei.Almost overnight, the best-selling manufacturer of mobile devices had to stop purchasing the Android system with a complete license from Google (only the open source version remained), but also hardware from its American partners Intel and Qualcomm.The reason for all this?The US has come to the conclusion that Huawei could be a security threat, mainly because of its contacts with military components in its home country of China.Kudos to Huawei for not giving up and not stopping making mobile phones despite public pressure.Although he sold some of them only in China, it should be noted that during this time gems such as the folding pioneer Mate X or Mate 30 Pro with a unique curved display were created.One way or another, the first so-called Google-free phones did not have it easy after arriving in Europe.While the Chinese user doesn't need Google (even before the Google ban in China, most people didn't), for the European customer it is the alpha and omega.Those who thus went to buy the new Mate 30 Pro and later, for example, the P40 Pro or Mate 40 Pro, were apparently very surprised when the phone simply could not search for YouTube or Google Maps in the database of the proprietary AppGallery application store.What's more, even the downloaded .APK files could not be run on such limited devices.Huawei has found itself in a dead end.He restarted his profitable business - mobile phones - in Europe after a short hiatus, but customers had little reason to buy his phones.The performance, great camera and premium looks have all remained.But the system without the "spark of Google" was simply difficult for us to use.However, almost a revolution was launched by the Gspace service, a specially modified emulator of the second space on Android.It contains the GMS (Google Mobile Services) layer and is therefore verified for running Google applications, including the Play Store, in a virtual space within the Harmony OS operating system (the system on Huawei devices, originally based on the EMUI Android superstructure).In this primitive way, you can upload your favorite software products from Google, and not only from Google, to any Huawei device.Although the application is launched via the Gspace emulator, this does not matter in stable operation and you can continue to use Google Maps, the Disk cloud storage or perhaps the Meet video chat platform.What's more, in one of the latest updates, developers added other applications that are not normally available on Huawei mobiles and tablets: for example, Uber, Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, Zoom, Shazam or US Microsoft services such as OneDrive, Teams, Translator or search engine Bing.You can also place anything you download as a shortcut on your phone's desktop for easy access.Just don't panic, all applications have a small Gspace emulator icon in the lower right corner.If you want to delete those downloaded from the phone's memory or update them, you have to do it directly through the Gspace application.Unfortunately, the Gspace service is not perfect and has several major and minor hiccups that make it difficult to use.In the first place, there are certainly advertisements.Although they disappeared every time the application is launched, they still appear.You can get rid of them by paying 419 crowns, or by activating a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual subscription.Another big drawback is updates.Although you can update your favorite application via Gspace, you will not receive a notification - so you have to check this or that application manually.And the same applies to notifications, unfortunately.Even if you set them honestly, they still don't show notifications on the lock screen or perhaps at the top of the notification center.The last weakness is speed.This does not mean downloading, of course that depends on your connection.However, it is very slow to launch individual emulated applications, especially if you have previously closed them manually.Compared to their usual one-second startup in Harmony OS, this operation here takes almost 3 seconds. A small thing for some, but it deserves a mention.Good question!You might want to download Google Pay (already Wallet somewhere) and go shopping.Unfortunately, the payment application from the American giant will not be installed on the Huawei phone, although via the Gspace emulator.But that doesn't matter - you can use Curve.Just create an account and upload all your payment cards to the service.Curve then combines them into one, which you can also use on Huawei phones.You can read more about it in our previous article.You probably understood that Gspace is a bit of a roundabout solution - Huawei phones simply do not have the official Play Store or pre-installed Google applications.But if you're not looking for those from the American Google, you'll be fine even without Gspace.First of all, try AppGallery - the official store that offers a whole host of popular services, and also ensures perfect operation of notifications and automatic updates for all of them.However, it freezes annoying ads for apps you don't even want.A more interesting source of applications is embodied by the search engine Petal Search.It searches not only websites, videos, images, but also applications, whether from official sites (such as WhatsApp in the example), those from AppGallery or other available application stores (such as APKPure and others).What is definitely pleasing - even in this case, notifications from applications work flawlessly.When it comes to updates to installed applications, Petal will clearly display them in the Downloads section.But keep in mind that Google applications will work best with the Gspace emulator.
