Looking to install the Google Play Store on Huawei Enjoy 20 series? You’re in the right place. Here we have a step-by-step guide on how to download and install the Google Play Store (Google Play Services) on Huawei Enjoy 20, Enjoy 20 Pro (Plus).
Just like the other Huawei smartphones announced in 2020, the Huawei Enjoy 20 series also comes missing with the Google Play Store and Google Play Services. This is because of the US-trade ban on Huawei. As a result, no US companies are allowed to do business with Huawei without a proper license including the search engine giant, Google. This means that Huawei is not able to license Google Play Services, which is why it is omitted from the phone. Although there are alternatives for the Google Apps and services, users may have a very different (and negative) experience.
The good news is there are ways to install the Google Play Store on your Huawei Enjoy 20 (Plus). This is quite a lengthy process but it is fairly straightforward, so set aside 15-20 minutes to get the Google Play Store up and running on your Enjoy 20, Enjoy 20 Pro, & Enjoy 20 Plus.
