Huawei smartphones do not support Google Mobile Services (GMS), but this does not mean you cannot access your favourite Google applications.<\/p>\n

Huawei has implemented its own Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) alternative that allows you to use almost every Google application on your smartphone.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular Google applications is Gmail \u2014 the ubiquitous email service used by millions worldwide.<\/p>\n

We decided to use a Huawei Y7P to see how easy it is to access our Gmail account\u2019s inbox and outbox on a Huawei smartphone.<\/p>\n

These steps apply to any other Huawei smartphone using HMS \u2014 you only need the native Huawei Email app.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 1: <\/strong>Open\u00a0Huawei Email >\u00a0Add account >\u00a0Sign in with\u00a0Google.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 2: Allow Huawei Email to access your Google Account.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once you have completed these two steps, you can send and receive emails via Gmail on your Huawei smartphone.<\/p>\n

We were impressed with how simple this process was \u2014 and we were impressed with the Huawei App, too.<\/p>\n

It boasts a simple layout that is easy to navigate and supports dark mode if this is your preference.\"\"<\/p>\n

There is also support for multiple email accounts, and you will receive real-time push notifications for each of these accounts.<\/p>\n

You can also filter your emails to only see unread or flagged emails, and emails with attachments.<\/p>\n

These attachments can be viewed from within the app and can then be included as attachments.<\/p>\n

Overall, we were surprised by the simplicity of linking our Gmail account to Huawei Email.<\/p>\n
