BEIJING - Google said Monday its basic services on Huawei smartphones still will function following U.S. sales curbs, but the Chinese tech giant faces the possible loss of other features and support. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW“We assure you while we are complying with all US gov’t requirements, services like Google Play & security from Google Play Protect will keep functioning on your existing Huawei device,” said Google on Twitter. But transfer of hardware, software or services to Huawei or technical interaction would be restricted by the U.S. order. That would strip Huawei phones of Google maps and other services that require direct support. “Google has publicly stated that its App Store, Google Play, and security updates from Google Play Protect will continue working on existing Huawei devices,” Wood said Monday.
