Google suspended Huawei and Honor access to updates of its Android operating system.
Google blocked Huawei’s access to updates of its Android operating system chipmakers reportedly cut off supplies to Chinese telecom company, after the US government added it to a blacklist last week.
Huawei is among the most valuable Chinese company. Besides claiming the number two spot in terms of smartphone sales worldwide, Huawei is among the leading suppliers for telecommunication equipment and a driving force in the adoption of 5G. But certain reasons, the company is blacklisted by US Government (Tramp administration). Which has repeatedly alleged that Huawei’s smartphones and telecom equipment are potentially being used for the discovering of country’s secrets.
For the security features of its antivirus software Google Play Protect would continue on existing Huawei devices. it responded late Monday afternoon, promising to continue providing security updates and after-sale services for its smartphones and tablets. Huawei has previously said it is developing its own backup operating system in case it was blocked from using US software. it has made substantial contributions to the development and growth of Android around the world,” it said.
Huawei can now continue using Android onto its smartphones is building its own custom version of Android using AOSP (Android Open Source Project) code.
As part of the blacklisting by the government, Google has removed Huawei from the Android partner program. Suggesting the no longer will have “access to proprietary apps and services from Google,” Reuters reported.
New versions of its smartphones outside China would lose access to popular applications and services including Google Play, Maps and the Gmail app. However, the blacklisting also prohibits Huawei and Honor from sending out newer updates to their smartphones. If it does, it will be forced to remove Google Play Services and Google apps from the existing devices too. well that is really bad situation for Huawei. The only possible options it has for now is to either finally start rolling out its own operating system. It has reportedly been working on, in the anticipation of the day when the U.S. finally obstructs its usage of Android.
