I absolutely would not side load a banking app, the security risks are too great in my opinion.
Why anyone would get a Huawei is also beyond me. Soooo many popular apps are not supported, nevermind Monzo
Just from a quick Google I found all these:
- Zoom - No
- Houseparty - No
- Disney+ - No
- Microsoft Teams - No but Microsoft Office, Swiftkey, Bing and Microsoft News are available so it’s probably only a matter of time.
- TikTok - Yes
- WhatsApp - No
- Skype - Yes, in the form of Skype Lite.
- Messenger - No
- BBC News - No
- Instagram - No
- Netflix - No
- Microsoft Outlook - No but see Microsoft note above
- Tesco Grocery - No
- Uber Eats - No (and no Uber)
- Audible - No
- Asda - No
- Twitter - No
- Snapchat - Yes
- Sky News - No
- NHS - No
- Prime Video - No but as the main Amazon Shopping app is present, we’d expect this at some point.
- Discord - No
- Just Eat - Yes
- Facebook - No
- Morrisons - No
- Spotify - No
- BBC iPlayer - No
- Twitch - No
- Deliveroo - Yes
- Duolingo - No
- eBay - No
- Amazon Shopping - Yes
I’d advise anyone considering one to do some research prior to upgrading or buying one.
