Install whatsapp in the huawei p40 lite: 4 ways to do it

The Huawei P40 Lite has just hit the market in Spain and part of the world. Precisely one of its great flaws is the absence of Google services, which prevents it from having Google Play to download third-party applications, as is the case with WhatsApp. To this must be added the dependence of Mark Zuckerberg's messaging application with Google Drive to store backup copies (messages, images, audio notes, videos…). For this reason we have compiled all the ways to install WhatsApp on the Huawei P40 Lite without resorting to root, something that today is not feasible in EMUI 10.

The WhatsApp web, the easiest option to download the APK

So is. From the WhatsApp website itself we can download the official APK of the application. Specifically through the following link:

• Download application from the official website

Once we have installed the application, the registration process will be identical to that of Android with Google services. The only difference is that we will not be able to use Google Drive to restore the backups, but we will have to resort to a local backup. In fact, the files will be stored in the internal storage of the phone, as it is not supported by the Google service.

APK Mirror, the unofficial option to install WhatsApp on the P40 Lite

Another way we can use to download WhatsApp on the Huawei P40 Lite is based on the APK Mirror website, a platform that houses thousands of applications from the official pages of the developers.

• Download application from APK Mirror

The advantage of APK Mirror over the official WhatsApp website is that we can select the numerical version to download. On the contrary, the official website will refer us to the latest stable version.

Phone Clone if you don't want to lose your conversation history on WhatsApp

It is an application developed by the company itself. The main function of Phone Clone is to transfer all data from one Android mobile to another, regardless of the brand of the phone. And when we say all the data is everything, from WhatsApp to the entire Google suite, including Google Drive.

After having installed the application on both terminals, the cloning process is as simple as scanning the QR code that the tool will provide us with from the Huawei P40 Lite. Then, we will select the list of applications that we want to transfer from the old mobile to the Huawei device.

The key to keeping your chat history intact is to select all Google services, as well as WhatsApp and Drive. Since the phone is not certified by Google, we will not be able to update any of the applications that depend on Google.

Install Google services on the Huawei P40 Lite, the most recommended option

The option that from tuexpertomovil.com we recommend is to install Google completely on the P40 Lite. The installation process is somewhat long and complex, but it is the only viable option if we want to have the Google suite on the phone. In this other article we explain how to proceed step by step.

Once we have obtained access to Google Play, we can download any application available in the North American giant's store. Without exception.
