Talking about Huawei MatePad T8, the budget-category tablet from Huawei, it was released just a few weeks ago running Android 10 out-of-the-box without any Google Play Services. In this tutorial, we will guide you to install the Google Play Store or GMS on your Huawei MatePad T8. Due to the ongoing US-China Trade War, there are quite a few parties at loss. Among them, Huawei, and particularly its user base seems to be the most affected ones.
Without digging deep into the political repercussions, this slugfest has resulted in the OEM’s restriction or ban to use the Google Mobile Services, popularly known as GSM. For the unknown, GMS is the Google apps package that comes pre-bundled in Android devices. These aren’t a part of the Android Open Source Project, and as a result, every OEM has to take a license from Google for incorporating this GMS onto their devices.
Now since Huawei isn’t allowed, as of now, to use the GSM, hence users are losing on all the goodies. In other words, there will be no Play Store, YouTube, Google App, Photos, and any and every app provided by Google. Well, we guess that’s the worst thing that could happen to any Android device. However, thanks to the Android open-source nature, there’s always a way out, and right now it’s no different. With a pretty handy tweak, you could now easily install the Google Play Store or GMS on your Huawei MatePad T8. On that note, we also have a detailed guide on how to install GMS on Mate 30/30 Pro or Mate X. Do check it out as well.
