What is HMS?
Huawei phones run on an Open Source version of Android, with Huawei's customised EMUI interface. If you have used a Huawei phone before, the experience is similar. The key difference is Google Apps and Services are not pre-installed and the Google Play Store is replaced by Huawei AppGallery.
There are many ways to get your Apps:
Huawei AppGallery (recommended), Phone clone, 3rd party App stores and Websites.
How can I access regular Apps?
Huawei continues to develop AppGallery to include your favorite apps and to introduce other unique experiences. The popular apps, such as social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter WhatsApp), navigation, banking, email, search engines and video streaming services can be used on a Huawei phone with AppGallery.
