    Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook

    So I noticed when downloading these apps when i searched using app gallery it found them and then took me directly to the respective direct websites and not a 3rd party APK site like petal search normally does. I was wondering if anyone knows why these apps are available to download as APKs...

    Huawei Game Centre - Looks exciting

    I opened AppGallery on my P40 Pro earlier today and was prompted to download Huawei Game Centre (there is a competition running if you download in the next few days so have a look if you have a P40 device.) It looks like an app store but just for games. I wonder if Huawei are looking at...

    App Gallery - good enough?

    I think right now its good enough for certain groups of people. Those that like myself and most like yourself are fairly tech savvy and can work our way around things and enjoy or at least don't mind doing so. I think the other group of people are probably the majority of smartphone buyers who...

    Help where's natwest ?

    I don't bank with natwest personally but i found the "natwest mobile banking" app on aptoide. You could try that and let us know if it works for you.

    No Google Play Store, No Cry!

    That's great. it was on of my worries was updates. its great that petal search tells you when there is an update. So even though you used phone clone to get the app across petal search told you there was an update for it? is that right?

    YouTube on P40 working the same?

    I've not used it personally as I use another 3rd party app for both YT and the YT music app on my P40. I think quick apps are basically just the mobile website but you can have a pretty icon on your home screen that takes you directly there rather than like having to open the browser then...

    More bad news for Huawei

    My P40 is getting the monthly android security updates before my friends on Samsungs etc so i wouldn't be too worried about that. This is all political and China is yet to really do anything in return to the USA. I personally think they are waiting to see if Trump gets reelected and will take...

    What happened to YouTube?

    If you are in infrequent user like you say i'd just use to quick app and pin it to your home screen. It will keep you logged in and is an easier way of using the mobile website really. There are 3rd party apps on the AppGallery but i've not used them personally as I use vanced. but you will...

    Google Security Updates on P40 Pro?

    Can confirm i got the August Android Security update on my P40 Pro this morning. None of my mates on Samsungs have got the update yet so Huawei seem to be really quick at getting the updates out.

    Banking on a new Huawei?

    I got the Monzo app from Aptoide and it works perfectly. I also get notifications when there are app updates. Don't have any issues personally. I would obviously prefer it from the appgallery but im sure it will come in time.
