Alan, an ardent smartphone enthusiast and a veteran writer at PhoneArena since 2009, has witnessed and chronicled the transformative years of mobile technology. Owning iconic phones from the original iPhone to the iPhone 11 Pro Max, he has seen smartphones evolve into a global phenomenon.

Images and comments are popping up all over the place showing and discussing how Huawei's phones are calling the Google app a virus if installed on one of the manufacturer's phones. A photo posted onappears to be affected. Immediate uninstallation is advised." A button at the bottom of the pop-up screen will uninstall the app.

The owner of the Huawei P30 scanned his device and found no viruses. Another user on Reddit had the same message pop up on his Huawei P30 Lite. He wrote,"Just got it as well, Huawei P30 Lite. Thing is, I don't even use Google, so I got extremely freaked out. Have never had an issue like this, but seeing as how we all got it around the same time, it's probably an update or something."lists the Google app as a TrojanSMS-PA virus.

Google apps are not supposed to be available on newer Huawei devices which is why the Alphabet subsidiary is not commenting on the situation. And since we all know that the Google app is not a virus , the blame for this screw-up must lie with Huawei.We don't believe that Huawei is doing this on purpose to paint Google in a negative light and that some mistake is causing Huawei's software to identify the Google app as a security threat.

If this message keeps appearing on your Huawei phone, you might try clearing the cache of the Phone Manager app as that seems to fix the problem.A discussion is a place, where people can voice their opinion, no matter if it is positive, neutral or negative. However, when posting, one must stay true to the topic, and not just share some random thoughts, which are not directly related to the matter.Multiple accounts - one person can have only one accountModeration is done by humans.
