So just a quick question, my App Gallery on my Huawei phone is saying there are 2 updates for my installed apps namely FNB and VLC.

But on Google Play there are no updates for these apps.

Whats gives?

Different publication cadences?
 
I have had a whatsapp update on Huawei's app store for the last 10 months or so. None from Google play.

As a matter of fact, I have had plenty updates from Google play of whatsapp but the same update notice on Huawei's store is still there to this day.

When I restore it and press update it takes me to a whatsapp page.

I then decided to ignore it.

The stores are not smart, they do strict equality checking not version increment comparison, so if you have version 2 installed buy AppGallery only have version 1 available, that would flag as an update as it only has to differ, not actually be greater
