Is LightHouse Safe?
As with any app, safety is a primary concern for users. Huawei’s AppGallery ensures a four-layer security system to protect users, including real-name authentication for developers and thorough security checks to identify any malicious behavior or privacy issues. While no app can guarantee complete safety, Huawei assures users that LightHouse meets the necessary security protocols before being listed on the AppGallery.
However, it is always prudent to take additional precautions to safeguard your Google account. Enable two-factor authentication and set up recovery phone numbers and emails to receive notifications about any suspicious login attempts. While Huawei stands by the safety of the app, it never hurts to be extra cautious when it comes to account security.
How to Use LightHouse?
Using LightHouse is a relatively simple process. Follow these steps to get started:
- Search for the “LightHouse” app in Huawei’s AppGallery.
- Download and install the LightHouse app.
- Go to Settings > Apps > LightHouse > Settings Button (top right corner) > Add account > Sign in to your Google account.
- Open the AppGallery, search for any desired Google app, and install it. Voila! You can now use Google apps signed in with your account.
Keep in mind that LightHouse does not install the Google Play Store itself. However, Aurora Store is recommended if you are looking for an alternative. It allows you to download apps from the Play Store and provides a guest account option without requiring a Google account. While Aurora Store offers a wide range of Google apps, some may not work optimally. In such cases, a mixed approach of using LightHouse and AppGallery installations is suggested.

Huawei’s commitment to app security and the thorough screening processes employed by AppGallery provide some reassurance.
