One of the biggest questions users have is if the HUAWEI AppGallery and its vast array of apps that are offered on the Mate50 series is safe and secure to use. To wit, the answer is an unequivocal yes.
Why is the new HUAWEI Mate50 series a safe and secure smartphone choice
While the HUAWEI AppGallery features a diverse and extensive array of apps, each and every app goes through a rigorous and thorough security check that requires the developer’s real name with authentication along with a thorough audit of an app’s purpose and privacy policies before being made available on the HUAWEI AppGallery.
To further ensure world-class security, HUAWEI has also received certification from the renowned British Standard Institution, a highly respected and neutral third party organisation, on ISO/IEC 19790:2012 that governs Information Technology Security Techniques.
Compliance to this rigorous standard requires four security levels of increasing levels of authentication for 11 critical requirement areas in the HUAWEI AppGallery and achieving this level of certification offers exceptional peace of mind for users of the Mate50 series as a safe and secure smartphone choice.
As an additional layer of defence, the HUAWEI AppGallery also guarantees the privacy of users with a security check function even after apps are installed on the HUAWEI Mate50 series smartphones that thoroughly ensures installed apps on the HUAWEI Mate50 series are safe and secure.
How to conduct a Security Check on the HUAWEI Mate50 series?
The Security Check function on the HUAWEI Mate50 series acts as an extra layer of defence for added peace of mind on top of the thorough security audit before an app makes it onto the HUAWEI AppGallery.
When activated, the Security Check function is able to check an app, even third party ones and conduct a virus scan, perform a fraud detection check to ensure that it’s not a fraudulent application, a privacy protection check to ensure that a user’s personal data is kept secure and last but not least, it runs an app through a malicious behaviour check to ensure that it is not malware. The best part? The Security Check function can be done with just one press of a button!
To enable security check, all you need to do on the HUAWEI Mate50 series is:
Open AppGallery> Me> Security Check> Scan
Should a suspicious app be detected, the HUAWEI AppGallery will send an alert to notify you immediately. Not only that, one of the greatest strengths of the HUAWEI AppGallery is its community and users who have queries can reach out for help both via a Live Chat with authorised HUAWEI support staff via the official MyHUAWEI app or through a host of other options:
- Through Live chat– the AppGallery Assistant, the Support function on AppGallery and the Support function on MyHUAWEI App
- Through Call-In Hotline– available on My HUAWEI App, HMS IVR channel, and HUAWEI Official Website
- Through Community FAQs– Solutions to the most common issues are provided on the HUAWEI Community site
