[Guide] How to transfer data to a Huawei smartphone without Google services?

The key information to be reckoned with is permissions. Don't be surprised when asked to grant access to many Android components. This is essential when you want to transfer as much information as possible from your old smartphone. Meanwhile, let's go back to the process itself - above you can see the first step that needs to be performed on the new Huawei device. We choose our model as the recipient and indicate from which source we want to transfer the data. Then we see a QR code and a description of the network to which we need to connect. Therefore, we put the Huawei smartphone aside and move on to the old device.

After selecting that in this case we are serving the data donor, we have the option to scan the QR code from the Huawei display or we can manually connect to the established network. Then we naturally have to choose what we want to send and the options are many:

Thus, we decide what exactly interests us and continue the process to finally see the message about the completed transfer. In my case, it took 5 minutes to transfer over 1.5 GB of data and I was already able to use the Huawei smartphone with the most important data from the previous phone. Naturally, all transferred items can then be synced to the Huawei Cloud.

The process of transferring data to Huawei smartphones is simple, but let's remember about the exceptions

I mentioned earlier that we are able to easily transfer, among other things, applications from the old smartphone to the newly purchased Huawei model. However, let's not forget that in this way we will not bypass all the restrictions that have been imposed by the United States on this manufacturer. If you do not know what exactly the limitations are about, I refer to the text where I discuss Huawei Mobile Services and the US blockade in more detail. Meanwhile, let's go back to the transfer, which may be confusing for some. It all comes down to the fact that Google applications will actually be installed, but after launching them, we will get a message about not being certified.

Does this mean that we are doomed to not be able to access YouTube or our Gmail mailbox? None of these things. At this point, various types of substitutes are entering the game, which are not missing in the Huawei AppGallery store itself. However, we will cover them in the next articles that you can create with us. Of course, we also do not want to deceive anyone that all games and programs are available on the devices of the company. Therefore, let us know which applications you may theoretically miss on smartphones with HMS, and we will try to find the right equivalents.
