Due to Google suspending some businesses, Huawei and Honour devices lack the Google application. Which doesn’t allow them to install Core GMS packages, but in China it’s not a big deal. However, outside India, users are used to Google Apps on Huawei and Honor devices.

How to Download and Install the Google Play Store on EMUI 9.0 or EMUI 9.1

Here is the complete guide to installing Google’s Play Store on an EMUI-powered device.

Prerequisites

  • The GMS installer for Huawei APK can be downloaded here.
  • Enable Unknown Source installation from the device settings, by navigating to Device Settings > Security > Toggle to enable Unknown Source.

Install the Google Play Store on EMUI using Google Services Assistant or Google.

  • Open the GSM package, and then grant the required permissions (Media and Storage Permission).
  • Next, if you haven’t inserted a SIM, it will ask you to log in to your Huawei account to activate GSM.
  • On the screen, there will be a few Google Play apps to install. Check the checkbox for the apps you want to install on your device.

Gapps are not included with Chinese-version devices, including those from Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi, and Realme. Due to licensing issues, Huawei wasn’t allowed to pack Gapps on their device.
