5 Useful App Tips for Your HUAWEI Devices

With the HUAWEI Pura 80 series around the corner, there’s renewed excitement around what HUAWEI devices can deliver in 2025, not just in terms of design and camera innovation, but also overall user experience. If you’re still wondering if HUAWEI can support Google apps, the answer is definitely yes, and if you haven’t seen how it works yet, you can find it here.

Building on that, we now turn the spotlight to something just as important, which is how to make the most of your HUAWEI device, whether you’re already using one or planning to upgrade to the upcoming Pura 80 series or any other existing HUAWEI model.

Here are 5 practical tips to help you get the most out of your HUAWEI device, from multitasking and productivity, to updates and support.

1. Boost Productivity with Multi-Window

HUAWEI’s Multi-Window feature allows you to run two apps side by side, making multitasking more efficient.

For example, users can watch a YouTube video while simultaneously taking notes in Google Docs. Simply swipe from the edge of the screen to open the app dock, then drag the second app into split-screen mode. The size of each window can be adjusted according to your preference, allowing for a customisable, distraction-free workflow.

This functionality is especially useful for students, professionals, and those who regularly engage with learning materials or multitask across apps.

2. Use the Smart Dock to Access Key Apps Instantly

The Multi-Window Dock or Smart Sidebar provides quick access to frequently used apps. Users can pin essential services such as banking apps, ride-hailing platforms, eWallets, or productivity tools, all accessible with a swipe-and-click.

Beyond simple launching, apps can also be opened in floating windows or split-screen mode, and users have the option to save common app combinations for more efficient workflows. This feature significantly reduces navigation time and enhances multitasking on the device.

3. Maintain Smooth Performance by Keeping Apps Updated

Keeping apps updated is essential to ensure optimal performance, security, and access to new features. HUAWEI devices make this process seamless via AppGallery and supported environments.

To update via AppGallery, just open the AppGallery app, tap on the ‘Me’ section, select ‘App Updates’ and tap ‘Update All’ if available.

If you are using GBox for certain apps, updates can be managed within the app itself. Look for a red dot on the refresh icon — this indicates that updates are available. Simply tap the icon to initiate a full update of installed apps.

4. AppGallery Has All the Essentials — Safely

Other than the Google Apps that we had talked about earlier, AppGallery also provides access to a wide range of locally relevant applications, including:

All apps within AppGallery undergo rigorous security checks to ensure safe downloads and usage. Users can rely on the platform not only for app diversity, but also for data protection and peace of mind. You can also carry out constant security checks via the AppGallery to ensure your device is always protected.

5. Dedicated Customer Support at Your Fingertips

Sometimes, things don’t go as planned, and that’s okay. HUAWEI offers a dedicated Customer Service Hotline that’s responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to reach for all your technical inquiries, usage issues, or setup assistance, just call 1800 22 0086

The support team is trained to resolve issues promptly and guide users through feature configurations, software setup, and general troubleshooting. This level of support ensures that help is always accessible when needed.

Final Thoughts

HUAWEI’s software experience continues to evolve alongside its renowned hardware. With thoughtful features such as Multi-Window multitasking, Smart Dock shortcuts, secure app support, and accessible customer service, users can fully maximise their devices for both productivity and everyday convenience.

We encourage all new and existing users to explore these features and take full advantage of what the HUAWEI ecosystem offers in 2025.
