Despite a long-standing issue with its changelog, Google keeps on sending new and multiple Play Store versions to Android users including the 34.0.13, which recently began to release.

Google Play Store 34.0.13 is currently in the expansion stage for Android devices and it may take some to reach all of the users.

Purchase approval:

Earlier this week, Google added a new parent control feature to Play Store that will allow parents to add purchase approval for their children.

According to the information, the feature will allow children to send a purchase request for the family manager account to approve it. Similar to app notification and the parent could then choose whether to approve it or not.

The approval covers paid apps and in-app purchases. Once received, the family manager could tap on the notification to process the payment request.

Real users and bots:

There is input that Google is working on a new way for developers to provide important information to users to detect whether it is run by a bot or a human.

Mishaal Rahman said that Google Play will execute this task by releasing a signal that helps to detect between “likely genuine” and likely non-genuine” traffic based on the presence and volume of Google Play Store activity.

We can simply call it an automated AI based approach to detect activity based on the usage data of a regular Play Store user. However, there’s no official information available from Google on this matter.

Changelog:

There was a change that recently appeared on the Play Store web version, such as the disappearance of the changelog of listed apps.

However, the changelogs are back in their place, as if they were never removed.

Since the very beginning of Huawei HMS smartphones, users are trying to find a way to install Google apps such as Play Store on their devices. With time, there are a number of solutions appeared and eventually, fade away. However, there’s one called, Gbox that got our attention and may work out to “some extent” to serve your Google apps requirements.

Note – The installation procedure is at the bottom.

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.

gbox download

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.

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.

install google apps huawei

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.
