ProtonMail is in talks with Huawei about including its encrypted email service
in future mobile devices, part of the Chinese phone maker's plan to develop an
alternative to Google ecosystem. From a report: The Swiss company's service
could come preloaded on future Huawei mobile devices or be offered inside its
app store, AppGallery, said Andy Yen, ProtonMail's chief executive officer. The
company hasn't made a final decision about offering its service on Huawei's
channel, he said. Huawei may lose access to Google's programs after the U.S.
added it to a trade blacklist in May, meaning American businesses need a
special license to do business with the Chinese company. The restrictions also
affect updates for the Google Android operating system that powers all its
smartphones abroad, and without which Huawei can't offer critical apps like
Gmail. As a result, Huawei has been racing to build out its own mobile
operating system, HarmonyOS, and enlisting developers to offer services on its
app store. "What they see from us is having an alternative to Google in case
they can't offer Google anymore," Yen said in an interview.
