Before we begin to install Google apps on your Huawei phone via GBox. You need to understand important things about how this article will navigate:

1. What is Gbox
2. Requirements
3. How it works
4. Supported Apps
5. Precautions
6. Tips
7. Tested on
8. Installation instructions
9. Our take

What is GBox:

According to the official website, Gbox was founded in 2018 in Singapore. Born from VIRTUAL CUBE PTE. LTD. It’s described as a multi-platform instrumented application focused on Android.

This app comes with a pre-built, out-of-the-box suite of Google app services. In that case, you won’t need to install GMS services plugins or any other kind of APK files on your phone separately. To be mentioned, there’s no version rollback required as well.

Requirements:

1. HMS powered phone
2. Gbox app
3. Internet

How:

According to the app, Gbox has virtualized into a random Android device. It creates a virtual Google apps space in your Huawei phone parallel to the EMUI apps.

Also, the app installed remains within Gbox and once you uninstall Gbox, all of these Google apps vanish as well.

Furthermore, every time you launch an app, it’s solely powered by the Gbox in virtual mode. Interestingly, the app retains your last usage and could be resumed from the taskbar.

Supported Apps:

Gbox support all of the Google apps and you can install them on your Huawei smartphone but only a few (including the third party) will work well. These are

1. Google app
2. Gmail
3. Google maps
4. Youtube
5. Facebook
6. Instagram
7. WhatsApp
8. Twitter
9. Line
10. Uber

Still, there are a bunch of other apps that are supported with Gbox but we’ve not tested them.

Games: You can access all of the apps on Play Store but other than those mentioned above won’t work or crash Gbox itself. So, we suggest you get them via APKMirror, AppGallery, or any other third-party website.

Privacy and Precautions:

Gbox promises to protect your privacy and not to collect data. But there are a few things that we suggest you do if you want to use Gbox or any similar application on your Huawei phone.

1. Use a Gmail account to log in that you don’t use to share any personal, private, or official email use cases. Create a new one if you want to.
2. Gbox for permission to access sensitive data such as storage and files. These are required to install a new app.
3. Gbox will take a part of your phone’s battery life but we have not found it draining or consuming too much of cells.
4. The instructions to install Gbox are easy but we suggest you read them carefully.

Tips:

Here are the tips that need to apply for the best use cases:

1. Install apps one by one
2. Wait until an app installation finishes
3. Create an app shortcut, once it is installed from the Play Store
4. Do not open apps from Gbox
5. Launch an app from the home screen icon
6. Open an app, and let it sync the data
7. Repeat the 6th step at least four to five times
8. We won’t suggest you keep your expectation high on all GMS apps.

You can force stop Gbox from running in the background via the “Force stop” option from Apps settings.

Tested on:

We testing Gbox running on EMUI 10, EMUI 11, EMUI 12, EMUI 13. The solution is running on all of the devices including Mate 50 Pro.

Instructions:

Let’s see how to install Google apps using Gbox on your Huawei phone.

Download Gbox:

Visit the Gboxlab website and download the latest version on your device.

Note: Download only the stable version.

Install Google Apps:

These are divided into two parts, the first will show you to set up Gbox, and the second half will show to install Google apps.

1st – Navigate to Gbox app on your phone and install it.

2nd – Open the Gbox app

3rd – Agree app’s terms and disable battery optimizations (will be prompted automatically).

4th – Tap on the “Check” button in the top right corner.

5th – Enable – “Require permission” and “Battery optimization whitelist”. Once enabled, press back.

Install Google Apps

6th – Tap on any “Recommended Apps” and allow required permissions.

7th – Sign in to your Google account

8th – Tap Install to install that app.

9th – Once installed, “Add” app icon to the home screen.

10th – You can download other apps in the same way.

How to update, create icons and delete the app:

You can tap and hold any app and tap on Upgrade to update the app or create an app icon.

Change region:

You can also take on Settings and change app suggestions according to region.

Our take:

Using Gbox is simple but we suggest you follow our precaution notes. It surely works in limits but it surely installs some apps. Yet we surely want to hear from you tag us on Twitter and carefully follow the instructions to use it.

As the name suggests, Now in Android offers a quick view of what other developers have recently done in the Android system. Besides, you can check the latest designs, new tools, and functions that are being added to the Android surface.

In addition, the app also covers a huge library of new releases, articles, videos, podcasts, samples, codelabs, and several other subjects relevant to Android developers. It brings UI, testing, and architecture details to developers so that they can complete an app development more effectively.

On the flip side, the app will help the developers to remain updated with the latest tweaks and pinches about Android in the technology world.

So far, the app was already present on Github. However, to increase the availability rate, Google introduced Now in Android to the Play Store. As a result, not only developers but users can also learn about Android and app development.

Ultimately, the US tech giant keeps on checking its developers’ and users’ needs. The company introduces such services and facilities that can meet their requirements. Consequently, Now in Android is such an initiation.

Extraordinary layout, just like Material You

Now in Android app reflects quite similar properties to the Material You on a design basis. On the other hand, the app also relates to the Compose Material Catalog and showcases extreme designs and layouts.

Alternatively, the app exhibits default and dark colorways and displays themes as per the wallpapers. Further, it features customized layouts corresponding to several screen sizes.

Significantly, Now in Android app is a functional Android app entirely built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. The app follows the new frameworks and modules which makes it capable of bringing the latest topics and details to developers.

To those who are unaware, user choice billing enables Android app developers to use their own payment systems instead of Google’s. As a result, developers no more need Google’s in-built system to hold payment actions in their apps.

To be specific, users will have the choice to either use the Google Play Store’s in-app purchasing system or the developer’s payment system while buying in-app content (in supported countries).

The tech maker initiated the user choice billing beta tests in September. At that time, the company rolled out the pilot stage in Australia, EEA (European Economic Area), India, Indonesia, and Japan.

After the fruitful outcomes, Google Play Store has pushed off the user choice billing test in the US, Brazil, and South Africa. Alongside this, the latest expansion will make the user choice billing available in 35 regions worldwide.

 Spotify – the first pilot tester

Further, Google informed that Spotify is the first third-party app that has begun billing alternative testing. Thereafter, the Bumble application also joined this recruitment process.

After the stable implementation, Android users will catch a new user interface on Spotify and other apps. This user interface will permit users to choose how they want to pay for monthly or other subscription packages.

Requirements:

On the other hand, developers who want to adopt the user choice billing system in their applications, need to follow some major guidelines of Google. As per these regulations, developers must show separate screens for the billing options.

Further, the billing screen must be visible before every purchase. Aside, developers must fulfill the below-given requirements:

• Your app must be a non-gaming mobile or tablet app
• The developer must be a registered business
• Implement trust and safety requirements, and user experience guidelines when available
• Only offer user choice billing to mobile and tablet users in announced pilot countries
• Comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) (if handling credit and debit card data)

To get more detailed information about these guidelines, click HERE.

According to Google’s words, this is just the beginning and the company will continue to expand the new billing alternative testing in more regions in the time ahead.

To be mentioned we’re not covering Google Play Instant apps under this scenario, so we’ll get you only the traditional way of getting desired apps from the Google Play Store.

Also, you can access Google Play Store to check apps on the web version but you will be required to own an Android device to download and install the apps on your smartphone or any other platform. Furthermore, windows and mac users won’t be able to use Android apps on their devices (except Windows 11).

Let’s dive into the instructions.

First, you need to find the Play Store app and tap the icon to launch it. Or open the Google Play store (weblink).

Now go to the top search bar and enter the name of the app or game or the content you want to search on the Play Store.

While you type the name of the app, you will be prompted with suggested apps related to your keywords along with auto-completing, you can tap on the autocomplete text to jump on the app directly.

If you don’t find your app’s name in the autocomplete, type the name completely and hit the search button.

Details Page:

Select your app and it’ll lead to a details page, where you’ll have to tap on the large “Install” button to begin the download process.

Note: After pressing the download key, you’ll have to wait according to the size of the Android app/game and your internet connection speed.

Once downloaded, you will see two buttons – Uninstall or Open. You can tap Open to launch the app on the spot.

Or, you can find it in the app drawer section to launch it anytime, because it is now installed on your Android device.

Tip:

You can check the app’s Google Play Store Data Safety section by scrolling down below to check, which data the app or game will collect from your device, post installation.

Paid apps:

Google Play Store has the biggest app library in any mobile app ecosystem. However, not all of the content is free on the platform. Hence, you will also find apps with price tags, which means they are paid apps and you’ll have to pay the labeled price to get them on your Android device.

If you proceed to download a paid app, you should know two things.

First, you’ll have to register payment option/credentials to your Gmail account, before moving to the selected app. If you’ve already set up your payment option, then you will be directly prompted with the payment procedure, which only takes two steps.
