Does the Honor 9A and Honor 9S support Google Apps?The burning question that pops up every time a Honor or Huawei smartphone launches these days, is whether they run on Huawei’s own Huawei Mobile Services or the default Google services that powers every other Android device in India? The answer is no. Like the Honor 9X Pro, the entry-level Honor 9A and Honor 9S also runs on Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) with Huawei AppGallery as the app store. There are ways to access your emails and apps like YouTube, but you won’t be able to enjoy the benefits of using Google Maps or Google Pay. You will also not be able to use WhatsApp on the phones.
