If you haven’t heard or tried out Huawei’s app market, the Huawei AppGallery, let us give you a quick tour around what it offers and its many features.
Multi-layered security
First off, the AppGallery has over 400 million monthly active users and is available in over 170 countries. The tech giant has secured its app market for its users, adding in Four-layer Detection, Privacy Checks, Security Vulnerabilities Scanning, Malicious Behavior Detection, and manual Real-name Security Checks.
For App Developers, there is a required real-name authentication when releasing an app as an added layer of security so malicious app developers would not be able to create multiple fake accounts to put out malicious apps. It also makes it easier for the AppGallery to monitor and ban app developers with a bad track record.
Then, the quad-level security detection mechanism implements four “locks” for app downloads, ensuring optimal security in all scenarios. During installation, AppGallery protects app data from being read for nefarious purposes and avoids user data leakage via procedures such as sandboxing, memory protection, periodic backtesting, and customer service feedback.
AppGallery also works vigorously to ensure that app downloads are optimally secured with app integrity verification, signature verification, threat detection, AI-enabled safeguards, and other measures that prevent malicious tampering.
Additionally, it detects malicious in-app behaviour, including activities such as eavesdropping on users, monitoring users, and taking screenshots or screen recordings without authorization. To protect user privacy during app usage, the AppGallery also conducts inspections for apps that call, collects or upload sensitive data from users without permission, and scans apps for loopholes, vulnerabilities or backdoors.
By combining the intelligent detection methods and manual real-name authentication, AppGallery provides full-fledged coverage for users against most conceivable threats. It also screens, monitors and re-inspects the third-party apps in the AppGallery, a process that successfully identifies and isolates malicious, rogue or Trojan horse apps straight from the source.
Kid-friendly
For those with kids, it’s important to keep them safe from possible privacy breaches as well as away from inappropriate content. The AppGallery will help you keep this in check with implemented an app classification system on a global scale, providing a safe and wholesome app download environment for minors.
There’s also a “Child download reminder” function for parents so they can rest easy when their kids use their devices.
