What is the Huawei AppGallery?

For the uninitiated, the Huawei AppGallery is the official app distribution platform, or in layman’s terms, the official app store for all Huawei devices including their phones, tablets and other smart devices that remains the third largest app store in the world with over 400 million active users and counting. 

Divided across 18 categories ranging from entertainment to productivity and even special educational applications for children, the Huawei AppGallery has something for everyone and to meet every need with thousands of apps available and more added every day.

For Malaysians, the Huawei AppGallery offers every app needed to live and thrive from social media apps like Facebook and TikTok, chat apps like WhatsApp and WeChat, banking apps from all major banks in Malaysia and more importantly, access to the full array of Google applications and services including Google Drive, Google Docs, YouTube, Google Sheets and more.

Finding and installing apps on the Huawei AppGallery and getting your favourite Google Apps on Huawei devices in 2025

The Huawei AppGallery has a diverse array of apps such that it can occasionally become a task of finding a needle in a haystack to find your favourite app. Fortunately, the library of apps available is equivalent to competing app stores and you can easily find your favourite app on the Huawei AppGallery by simply typing its name in the Huawei AppGallery search bar.

Huawei AppGallery – Security, Safety and Peace of Mind

Even with the vast array of applications available from banking to productivity, Huawei maintains a rigorously uncompromising stance on safety and app security for all applications available on the Huawei AppGallery.

As part of this 360-degree emphasis on protection, developers who upload apps to the Huawei AppGallery are rigorously vetted along with their identities to ensure that only bona fide app providers can provide applications. 

In addition, apps are tested monthly for malicious behaviour or code via a multi-layer security detection protocol on the Huawei AppGallery that monitors for malicious behaviour at all times so that users can download apps from the Huawei AppGallery with confidence. That’s not all, the Huawei AppGallery is also certified  by BSI, further vouching that user data is kept safe and secure to international standards for data privacy. You can even check out the official BSI certificate here.

That’s not all, the AppGallery also features a robust and thorough system that detects and protects potential app-related scams, viruses, malicious behaviours from apps and that your privacy is secure called App Check. To access and run the Huawei AppGallery App Check, you simply need to:

>Open up the Huawei AppGallery

>Go to the Me Tab 

>Press Scan to get an audit of the safety and security of your installed apps

Not only is App Check  updated regularly with the latest security updates to keep abreast of potential malware, viruses and scams, it’s also easy to use and free too. Still not sure?
