Since I currently have a Huawei p20 lite and reluctant to do without wahtsapp and Co I ask here if older phones are also affected by the spell for Android and would like to know if I should buy a new one now
For those who do not know Huawei should no longer have Android according to us 2020
No, you will not get an Android update, but the Android version you have on your phone will continue to run.
Ok thanks so my apps that I have now stay on it
Yeah, the apps are not from Google
However, Google can spoof access to the PlayStore through an update.
Yes, they do that too. (If I understood correctly) The already installed apps can still be used. Of course, without updates, which will pose a high security risk…

Googled fast…
If I read correctly then the phones that already had a Google Store account will continue to have that access.
Currently, the phones are not affected yet.
At some point we will not receive any Android updates anymore.
And at the moment, you often read that apps like WhatsApp and Instagram will not work anymore. At the latest when your own operating system comes from Huawei. That would be stupid then.
Let's wait and see what happens there. So quite predictable this thing is not yet.
Find the whole thing but also a bit annoying. Have the Huawei P20 and had the purchase last year already hoped that I can use this device for a few years. But if I can no longer (certainly) use certain apps, I have to think again about a new device.
Yes, and Google Peotect will work later. Moreover, the whole thing is so far only a threat and that can change quite.
