Google Has Applied For License To Resume Business With Huawei

After being banned from cooperating with U.S. tech companies, Huawei faced a lot of difficulties. In particular, Huawei's new smartphones are no longer running with familiar Google apps and services, making them difficult to sell in international markets such as Europe.

To find a way to survive, Huawei had to develop its own operating system to replace Android, and its own app store to replace the Google Play Store. But these efforts have not yet been effective. Even so, Huawei has claimed that it can live without Google. Huawei Mobile Services is Huawei's latest attempt, but it is still quite limited and not a full-fledged substitute for Google Mobile Services.

According to a recent report by Finanzen, in another development, Google is asking the US government for permission to continue cooperation with Huawei. It is a proactive move from Google, showing that Huawei is also of particular importance to the search giant.

Previously, Microsoft also applied for a license from the US Government to continue to license its Windows OS to Huawei. If Google’s license is also approved, its partnership with Huawei may resume immediately and Huawei smartphones will be allowed to install the Play Store, and services such as Gmail, Maps, Play Store, YouTube, and Photos can run on Huawei's smartphones.

Huawei is the second-largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, with 238 million Android smartphones shipped in 2019. It's enough to see how important it is to Google when the search giant loses one huge amount of users if not cooperating with Huawei.

It seems that the last door is open for Huawei, all difficulties and troubles may be gone if the US approves Google’s license.
