Huawei has suffered from deprivation of Google services and other services including Play Store due to US sanctions, and that’s why the Chinese company introduced its app gallery last year.
And now the company has announced that Huawei App Gallery has a monthly subscriber base of 40 million and is the third-largest app store after Google and Apple.
Huawei App Gallery is a new alternative to its users compared to Google Apps and Play Store, which it says is available to more than 40 million monthly subscribers in 170 countries/regions. The store has the most mainstream apps and services.
Introducing Huawei’s new foldable phone Mate XS, the company’s CEO Richard Yu said, “Privacy is always at the heart of our philosophy, under your control, We’ve made privacy protection and cybersecurity a top priority in all our business operations. We also have tough privacy and cybersecurity solutions for the Huawei app gallery. ‘
He reiterated his commitment to developers bringing their apps to the company’s new app gallery, saying the gallery would be just as good as Google and the Apple App Store. “We will welcome developers from all over the world to join Huawei Mobile Services,” he said.
The Huawei App Gallery has an age rating system for child protection and filters out apps that are not age-appropriate. Similarly, there are various methods for protecting sensitive data and privacy such that biometric data is never processed outside of the Huawei device and users are given full control over personal data.
EMUI gives users control over app user permissions while all data is stored anonymously and locally.

Google Apps and Facebook Apps are not available in the Huawei App Gallery at this time, but there are 18 categories that include News, Social Media, Entertainment and more.
According to the company, if no app is found by the user, you can list the desired app name, which will be communicated to the user when available. According to the company, apps downloaded from this app gallery work better on the company devices, which is an open AI platform called Huawei HighAI.
Likewise, a feature called QuickApps is a new type of free apps that provides the user with powerful functions and automatic updates of HTML 5 pages, but the storage of consumer devices is minimal.
Quick Apps writes 1/5 percent of the code as compared to Android apps, which takes up less memory space; in simple terms, this feature can accommodate 2 thousand Quick Apps instead of just 20 apps in 1 GB space.
