News & Reviews:   Huawei AppGallery

In case you don't check your emails, TIME has announced an upcoming platform change that will affect users accessing its mobile app via Huawei devices. Beginning tomorrow (25 April 2026), the TIME app will no longer be supported on Huawei AppGallery. The update comes as part of ongoing system upgrades aimed at supporting newer technologies and improving overall service delivery.

Smartphones can do so many things these days and HUAWEI goes out of its way to make it more so. Here are some smart and easy ways to utilise everyday apps on your HUAWEI device.

Previously, we shared a preview of Setel Lite, which as the name would suggest, is the lighter version of the Setel app. Now, the Setel Lite app is official and available for download via the Google Play Store and HUAWEI AppGallery.

HUAWEI today celebrated the successful conclusion of the HUAWEI Developer Day, a one-day event held in Kuala Lumpur which celebrated the evolution and growth of the HUAWEI Mobile Service (HMS) ecosystem. During the event, the company revealed that since its debut in 2018, the HMS ecosystem has become one of the top 3 mobile app ecosystems in the world with the total number of global HMS Core developers reaching 6 million with 25,030 opened APIs.

Along with the recent launch of the HUAWEI nova Y70 for RM699, HUAWEI Malaysia have also announced that users can get various welcome app gift packs with the nova Y70 via the HUAWEI AppGallery. Just for a refresher, the HUAWEI nova Y70 features a huge 6000 mAh battery with 22.5W HUAWEI SuperCharge and a large 6.75-inch display amongst its tech specs.

A flaw has been discovered in the HUAWEI AppGallery recently, whereby a vulnerability is allowing users to download paid apps in the store for free. Moreover, it was also found that the AppGallery API doesn’t offer any protection for paid apps in the store.

Together with the recent launch of HUAWEI P50 Pro and P50 Pocket in Malaysia, a legend reborn that represents a new chapter of Huawei mobile’s all-scenario experiences, AppGallery also showcases its continuous progress in expanding its app ecosystem.

Companies tend to hold back smartphone reveals for MWC, with CES 2021 being the preferred stage for a wider range of other electronics. So for Huawei, the P50 series and Kirin 9010 chipset that's being rumoured won't be around soon. Instead, we might be seeing two new MateBook laptops.

As Huawei continues to add more necessary apps to their AppGallery, it has been reported that they found a new alternative navigation app to replace Google Maps. Some of you might have heard this before, it's known as HERE WeGo and it has officially entered the AppGallery club.

Huawei is rapidly catching up with its AppGallery as it is now the third-largest app store in the world. With over 400 million monthly active users in the platform, the company is now eager to attract more developers and apps by giving up to 90% of revenue-sharing to the developers.
