Although Huawei offers the best quality devices at an affordable price tag, one thing they need to work on is its Android-based EMUI skin (Emotion User Interface). Being a world-class company, its EMUI software makes the new users think whether to go with its devices or not. EMUI 9, the latest version of Android Pie-based OS is already out for the range of Huawei and Honor devices and as usual, there is not much change to its default launcher. It is really disappointing for EMUI fans as there are several beautiful third-party launchers available on Google Play Store.
Here, we will guide you on how to change default launcher in Huawei EMUI 9. It is a simple process where every Huawei & Honor smartphone can download and install third-party launcher on their devices. When you download a new launcher, Android will automatically ask you to set a default, but if you need to swap after the fact, you’ll need to dig into the settings to do so.
Without much ado, check out the below steps to change your homescreen launcher on any Huawei/Honor device running EMUI 9.0 or above.
