Huawei’s HarmonyOS AppTest client has been updated to V2.3.1.300 on HarmonyOS 5 and 6, rolling out via AppGallery. AppTest, Huawei’s equivalent to Apple’s TestFlight, lets users join pre-release app and meta-service tests via SMS, email invites, or links. The new release improves the downgrade installation flow: testers can now install earlier app versions directly from within AppTest without uninstalling the current build. That simplifies regression testing and speeds iteration for developers a
WeChat's HarmonyOS build received an invite-only update to version 8.0.17.38 (build 8392998) via Huawei's AppGallery, with testing running from May 15 to June 11, 2026. Installation requires a received SMS invitation link; those without it must wait. The changelog remains generic—"fixed some known issues." The HarmonyOS WeChat app launched on AppGallery in January 2025 and supports core features including messaging, payments, official accounts, Mini Programs, Channels, and live streaming; installs have surpassed 50 million. The update signals ongoing support and iterative fixes for the platform-specific client, relevant to developers, Huawei device users, and the broader mobile app ecosystem.
Tencent’s QQ HarmonyOS (鸿蒙) app began a 9.2.23 (2976) invite-only test on Huawei’s AppGallery from May 13 to May 29, 2026. The update adds social and group management features: calendar filtering and engagement counts in Space albums, improved media browsing and uploads (including emojis and @mentions), tags and check-ins for posts, new space permission settings, focused-message positioning, and a dedicated blacklist. Group tools gain auto-approval for joins, member data, group blacklist management, an upgraded apps center, group quickbar support, and improved creation and profile UX. The HarmonyOS build has over 36.6M installs and highlights Tencent’s ongoing HarmonyOS platform support alongside its HarmonyOS desktop client. This matters for developers and platform partners tracking app parity and ecosystem features on Huawei’s OS.
Honor’s official shopping app, Honor Mall (version 26.4.0.0), has been listed on Huawei’s HarmonyOS AppGallery, bringing the total of Honor apps on the store to four. The listing lets HarmonyOS users directly download and auto-update the brand’s apps—Honor Mall, Honor Smart Space, Honor Sports Health, and Honor Clone—improving access to device management, shopping, fitness data sync, and one‑tap phone migration. This signals deeper app availability within the HarmonyOS ecosystem, reducing reliance on web downloads or manual installs and supporting a smoother cross‑device experience for Honor accessory users. The move aligns with broader HarmonyOS growth, with devices supporting HarmonyOS 6 surpassing 55 million and ongoing feature updates in HarmonyOS 6.1.
