Are Huawei and Honor really going to be completely separated?
Starting from November 2023, users who upgrade to the Honor 100 series and later will face the separation of the HUAWEI ID and HONOR account systems for products upgraded to MagicOS 7.2 and later. This means that the original HUAWEI ID cannot be directly logged in on the HONOR phone, and related functions and data are no longer interoperable. For users who are Xi to using HUAWEI ID, this is not only a technical adjustment, but also may affect their daily experience.
Honor's business has been adjusted, and users feel inconvenienced
The customer service staff of Honor's major online shopping platforms replied: "Due to business adjustments, Honor's new devices will no longer support the installation and use of HUAWEI CLOUD and related apps." This change means that Honor phones will no longer be able to log in with a Huawei account, and related functions and data will no longer be universal. Now users who have purchased a new Honor phone and those who have upgraded to MagicOS7.2 and later feel inconvenient.
Starting from the Honor 100 series phones in November 2023, HONOR phones will not be able to use HUAWEI ID and HUAWEI CLOUD services, so relevant functions and data cannot be directly transferred or copied from the old phone to the new phone, and even the original data will be lost.
Pay attention to saving data to avoid losses
For example, if you use Huawei Sports that young people often use, your data cannot be directly synced to your new phone, so you must download and log in to your Huawei account separately to sync your previous data and connect to other Huawei devices. In addition, if you want to continue to use the VIP and resources of Huawei music and videos that you have purchased before, you must also download them separately again, and some Huawei native apps do not support the after-installation of HONOR devices.
In addition, the bus card and access control card that must be used for commuting must also be refunded through Huawei Wallet on the old mobile phone, and then downloaded the Honor Wallet on the new Honor phone, re-apply, recharged, and entered information before it can be used normally.
In addition, the most frustrating thing for young people is that the Honor account cannot inherit the game data and game equipment of the Huawei account, which means that you either give up the game results you have worked hard to build and the game equipment you have purchased, and start all over again, or you have to carry two mobile phones with you, one for gaming, and the other for daily use.
In addition, regardless of whether the user has purchased the upgraded HONOR Cloud space before, as long as they purchase a new HONOR mobile phone, they must purchase the HONOR Cloud space again, and they need to download the photos, files, and materials previously stored in the HUAWEI CLOUD space to other devices, transfer them to the new HONOR cloud space, and then upload them to the newly purchased HONOR Cloud space for storage.
As the Spring Festival is approaching, when everyone is buying new phones, I would like to remind friends who are about to buy the Honor 100 series or the upcoming Honor Magic V2 Porsche Design mobile phone to be sure to back up all the information in their mobile phones in advance and purchase carefully according to their actual situation.
