The pace of change for mobile technology is fast-moving – each new device and product builds on its predecessor to enhance users’ lives. Likewise, Huawei Mobile Services (HMS), an ever-evolving technology since its introduction back in the early 2010s, refreshes the user experience with every update. Throughout its growth, Huawei users have enjoyed a consistently enhanced digital lifestyle faceted by security, convenience, and innovation.
When HMS was first unveiled, digital living was at its infancy. Smartphones had limited functionalities, shackled by poor app innovation. Data was stored on-device and users had no access to media content outside of their own personal libraries as streaming technology wasn’t established yet. Compared to the liberating platform of today, the digital lifestyle was lacklustre and limited.

HMS quickly caught the eyes of mobile users everywhere with its smart native apps. Huawei ushered its users into the flourishing digital era with innovation like an HUAWEI Assistant · TODAY that shares smart recommendations, empowering users to live their best lives. HUAWEI Videos, HUAWEI Music, and HUAWEI Books offer a diverse and expansive global entertainment. Furthermore, Huawei users no longer face the risk of losing their devices. Users can simply use the Find Device to locate their Huawei devices such as smartphones, watches, earphones, and glasses, as well as locking and wipe devices, and playing a ringtone remotely.
Huawei is constantly looking ahead, identifying different aspects of the digital life where HMS apps can elevate the user experience. With the launch of the HUAWEI Mate 40 Series, HMS has also unveiled several new HMS apps – including Petal Search, Petal Maps, HUAWEI Docs, and more – further enriching an already robust native apps line-up.
With Petal Search, users gain access to everything the whole world, and simultaneously their local market, has to offer. Supporting over 50 languages and 170 countries globally, this mobile-first search engine offers search capabilities to find app, news, videos, images, shopping, flights, local businesses, among others. Not only does it reveal high-quality and relevant results when users look up localised queries, but it also provides additional services such as weather forecast and translation to meet users’ day-to-day needs. Leveraging Huawei devices’ AI capabilities, users can also search using images or photos they have taken, complementing the fast-paced and convenient mobile lifestyle of today. Future updates even include a voice search feature and strengthened visual search function.
The launch of Petal Maps means that Huawei users now have a newer and more innovative way of exploring the world. It not only provides global users in more than 140 countries with features including location tracking, map display, driving directions, it also comes with real-time road conditions to provide the best travelling experience. Additionally, Petal Maps will be the first navigation app to support the Huawei Mate 40 Series’ Gesture Control feature to meet the travelling needs of drivers accustomed to the smart and digital way of living. Drivers can now switch between map views by simply gesturing an ‘air press’ towards the screen with their palms, making navigation easier through these smart interactions.
As the world shifts towards remote working and collaboration, HUAWEI Docs is the perfect companion for Huawei users. It supports viewing and editing of documents in more than 50 common file formats, and allows users to work on the same document with real-time syncing across different devices that are on the same HUAWEI ID to ensure a smoother and enhanced work experience.
Huawei will continue working on the HMS ecosystem relentlessly to endow users with the quality digital lifestyle that they deserve. Start living the digital life with HMS, and leap towards tomorrow today.

Based on truthfulness, the app asks users to pledge complete honesty to give them a better chance of finding a real connection with other users and finding that perfect match.

Badoo is available as a Quick App, an innovative feature unique to AppGallery which enables installation-free apps that provide experiences very close to the native versions. Badoo’s Head of Communications Tristan Pineiro said Quick Apps not only take up much less space on people’s phones and therefore enable improved app performance under heavy loads, they also enable a better user experience.
“In the modern day, daters want a quick and convenient dating platform that can cater for their busy lifestyles, and having Badoo available as a Quick App allows daters to enjoy easy access across different devices and platforms,” Pineiro said.
Furthermore, Badoo integrates Huawei Mobile Service’s Chip-Device-Cloud capabilities to enable optimised in-app functionality and help deliver the smoothest possible dating experience for AppGallery users. For example, Huawei Mobile Service’s geolocation intelligently combines GPS, Wi-Fi, and base stations to give precise user locations and enable daters to meet people around them.
Meanwhile, Huawei’s Push Kit works in tandem with the Quick Apps function, enabling developers to check if push tokens on users’ devices have expired when the app is brought to the foreground. The Push Kit also enables developers to control how and when notifications are sent to users and ensure the correct information is shown when they tap the notification, meaning users have continued access to the latest updates and promotions.
“These days, there are many different online dating platforms, and people want a service that offers a smooth and efficient user experience, as well as being able to date honestly. Listing with AppGallery and integrating with Huawei Mobile Service’s innovative kit means that Badoo can offer both these things, which ultimately helps us reach more users and achieve higher engagement rates,” Pineiro said.
Huawei constantly works on collaborations with the world’s top app developers to create quality apps, and Badoo is one of the latest among 60,000 apps that have utilized Huawei’s advanced technologies and on-device capabilities to deliver superior services and enhanced user experiences.
All applications developed in collaboration with Huawei, along with thousands of other quality apps, are available on Huawei’s open and secure app distribution platform, AppGallery. As one of the top three app marketplaces globally, AppGallery connects 420 million monthly active users throughout more than 170 countries and regions to Huawei’s smart and innovative ecosystem.
AppGallery provides users with more choice and better app discovery options, with thousands of apps across 18 categories including news, social media, entertainment, and more.
