Huawei and Honor devices confirmed to receive future Android and GMS updates

Last week, Huawei’s general license deal that allowed the Chinese tech giant to work with Google expired, leaving a cloud of uncertainty on whether or not Huawei users would receive Android updates henceforth. However, several Huawei users took to Twitter to voice their concerns.

The primary concern is the fear that the expiration of the license means Google won’t be able to provide updates to Android-powered Huawei phones. One user asked if Google Services and Android updates on his Huawei Nova 5T would still be released after the license ends, to which Huawei responded:

Hi there, thank you for your message. There is no impact on existing devices. We will continue to share security and software updates to our devices, as we always have. If you have any questions, please let us know via DM.
