Huawei has announced the availability of the Petal Search Widget - Find Apps, which can be download via the Huawei AppGallery starting with the recently launched nova 7 5G.
The new search tool offers Huawei users “an open gateway to a million apps”, the company has said in a statement.
It is now even easier for Huawei users to have the apps they want on their HMS devices. Through the Petal Search Widget - Find Apps, users can find and download apps on to their HMS devices by simply using it directly from the home screen of their device, alongside two more options; the AppGallery and Phone Clone.
The AppGallery is Huawei’s official app store with more than 420mn monthly active users and a constantly growing list of apps. It features a four-layer detection mechanism to ensure apps featured are safe to download and use. As for Phone Clone, it is an easy way for users to transfer their apps, contacts, data, files and photos from their old smartphone to their new smartphone, in a few simple steps.
Powered by the Petal Search engine, the Petal Search Widget - Find Apps brings an alternative search experience that locates and aggregates information, delivering the most accurate and relevant results for each user in order to enable them to fully personalise and manage their smartphone experience.
Currently, the search tool lists apps from multiple sources - always listing the source origin. Huawei’s AppGallery is completely integrated into the widget and any apps already available in the AppGallery will appear at the top of any search in the new tool. Hundreds of new apps continue to be added to the AppGallery every week.
Created in partnership with global search engine leaders, the Petal Search Widget - Find Apps brings together the best in hardware-based security and safety technologies, combined with the unparalleled privacy standards set by these leading privacy-by-design search engines, to ensure the highest standards of data privacy and security for Huawei users, the statement said.
