Can You Live With Only HMS on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro? [Explained]"},"content":{"rendered":"

Huawei Mate 30 Pro<\/a> is Huawei’s latest flagship and its finally available in Nepal. But there’s one thing you should know! Huawei Mate 30 Pro is the first flagship phone from Huawei that doesn’t come with GMS (Google Mobile Services<\/a>). Instead, the Mate 30 Pro comes with Huawei’s own HMS (Huawei Mobile Services<\/a>).<\/p>\n

So, why should you care about this? Well, let me explain the situation first. Recently, the US issued a trade ban on Huawei, which bars US-based companies from trading with Huawei. And, Google being a US-based company cannot sell its Google Mobile Services to Huawei.<\/p>\n

What are GMS and HMS?<\/h3>\n

If you’re an avid Android<\/a> user, by now you must be very familiar with Google Mobile Services (GMS)<\/strong>. So you must have Play Store<\/a> on your android device and you must have downloaded Android applications from the Play store.<\/p>\n

And, simply this is GMS. It is a set of applications and APIs which allows google apps and features to run on Android devices.<\/p>\n

While you can download and use the non-google apps to your Huawei devices. You cannot use Google apps such as Play Store, YouTube<\/a>, Gmail<\/a>, Google Keep, and others even if you download it from third party sites.<\/p>\n

Now that you have a basic understanding of GMS. What is HMS? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Similar to GMS, HMS is Huawei’s alternative to GMS which has a set of APIS that provides GMS like capabilities to the android applications.\"\"Was that hard to understand? Let me give you an example!<\/p>\n

If any Android app uses GMS then it can use the “Login With Google”<\/strong> feature which is a feature provided by the GMS and most of you must have used that feature. Similarly, if any other app uses HMS then it can use the “Login With Huawei ID”<\/strong> feature which lets the users login with a single Huawei ID across all applications.<\/p>\n

Basically, HMS provides the replacement of all the APIs and features that GMS provides.<\/p>\n

What Do I Get with HMS?<\/h3>\n

First, let’s get over with the things you get. As I’ve already mentioned, you will not get any Google Services and this is not only limited to apps like YouTube, Gmail or Google Keep. You won’t be able to sync your calendar and contacts, sync your message database between devices, sync any data from an app that uses Google’s built-in method through Drive or use Google search or Assistant. However, there\u2019s a workaround. Now that you’re clear with what you won’t be able to access without GMS, let’s see what the HMS has on offer.<\/p>\n

First, it provides you with all the alternative APIs such as:<\/em><\/p>\n
