Huawei calls it Four-Layer Threat Detection, which ensure apps are secured and free from viruses.
Among the applications available via web and third-party downloads are Netflix,
Maps, Google Chrome, Spotify, JobStreet, Twitter, Line Webtoon, Wordscapes, Instagram, Waze, Duolingo, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC, Facebook Messenger, Microsoft Teams, Kindle, PUBG Mobile, Snapseed, Pinterest, Reddit, Fitbit, SM Cinema, Citibank, AirBnB, LinkedIn, Clash of Clans, Zomato, OneDrive, Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Shopping, Facebook Lite, Boomerang, PayPal, Dropbox, Landbank, Skype, and Soundcloud.
