The Huawei P40 Pro is an excellent smartphone. Under the hood, it houses some really incredible technology, but this is all overshadowed by the absence of Google Play Services. This is because Huawei is now prohibited from doing business with Google as a result of being added to the US Entity List.
The good news is that there are approaches of actually installing the Google Play Store on the Huawei P40 Pro. Set about 15-20 minutes to complete this relatively simple but lengthy process so that your P40 Pro may access the Google Play store:
Important:
- In case something goes wrong, save a backup of your phone’s data.
- For the installation process, you’ll need a USB C flash drive, or a conventional USB flash drive and an adapter to connect it to the Huawei P40 Pro.
- Verify on your phone that the USB drive is operational and recognized.
If you followed these instructions correctly, the Huawei P40 Pro should now have the Google Play Store installed. You might experience problems using Google’s applications because the company has issued a warning against sideloading them.
If this approach is not for you, the majority of the popular programs should still be accessible on Huawei’s app store.
