Huawei AppGallery: The Heart of Huawei’s App Ecosystem

Huawei AppGallery is Huawei’s official app marketplace, serving as the primary source for downloading apps and games on Huawei and Honor devices. Launched globally in 2018, AppGallery has become a central component of Huawei Mobile Services (HMS), replacing the Google Play Store on newer Huawei smartphones due to restrictions on using Google Mobile Services.

AppGallery offers millions of apps across categories like communication, social media, entertainment, productivity, and gaming. Huawei collaborates closely with developers worldwide to ensure popular apps are available and optimized for its ecosystem. For apps not yet listed, AppGallery integrates Petal Search, allowing users to easily find and install them from trusted sources.

Security is a key focus — every app undergoes Huawei’s four-layer security check, including virus scanning, real-name developer verification, and system-level threat detection. AppGallery also supports in-app purchases through Huawei’s secure payment gateway, offering local currency support in multiple regions.

To enhance the experience, AppGallery includes curated app recommendations, exclusive rewards, and region-specific promotions. Combined with HMS Core, it enables seamless integration of features like push notifications, location services, and AI-powered app optimization.

AppGallery continues to expand globally, aiming to be a strong alternative to Google Play and Apple’s App Store.
