Huawei have been accelerating their development on the Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) since losing its Android license in May 2019. But recently, it seems that the progress is going well as it has come to our attention that three popular apps will be available on Huawei's AppGallery soon.
Although the company have just announced their AppGallery to be the third-largest application store in the world, following behind Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Most of the apps offered in the AppGallery are still intended for Chinese consumers. In fact, most of the apps are not known to users outside of the country. Thankfully, during an interview with Huawei Mobile CEO, Richard Yu, he mentioned that Twitter, Instagram and Facebook are going to be available soon on the AppGallery so that's good news.

Micheal Josh's Tweet on the interview with Huawei Mobile CEO Richard Yu
Since the unfortunate ban from using Google services, the company must work hard to offer many more popular apps in the West besides Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Without it, Huawei may have a hard time convincing Western users to spend several hundred dollars in a smartphone that are not user-friendly to them.
Despite that, Huawei did not specify when will the popular Western apps arrive in the AppGallery. But will you still spend on a Huawei smartphone even without Google services? Let us know at our Facebook page and stay tuned for more news updates on TechNave.com!
