GUANGZHOU, China — In mid-2019, Huawei launched its own operating system — HarmonyOS — in response to U.S.

Huawei phone users would be able to download it as an update.

Also, Huawei will be pushing the update to existing users of its devices which should help drive use of the operating system overseas.

Apps are critical to mobile operating systems.

Apple's iOS and Google Android are the two most dominant operating systems because they have millions of developers making apps for their respective platforms.

Huawei has a suite of apps such as mapping and a browser under a banner called Huawei Mobile Services (HMS).

So getting access to Google Mobile Services again is critical if it wants to build its international phone business," Bryan Ma, vice president of devices research at IDC, said via email.

With Google Android and iOS dominating outside China, Huawei will also have the steep task of convincing users to switch.
