What are the consequences for Huawei customers now?

Google has taken Huawei the license for the Android system. What does that mean for Huawei's customers? Is Huawei also excluded from What's App? And does Huawei still belong to Android?

Huawei just stops getting Android updates and can't bring new devices with Android. Huawei never "belonged to Android," whatever that means. WhatsApp does not explicitly exclude Huawei. Older versions of Android, however, are at some point no longer supported by many apps (= supplied with updates). WhatsApp is less of a concern because WhatsApp still supports very old versions.

If you have already owned your device, there will be almost no negative consequences. You'll still keep Android and get Huawei's monthly security updates, BUT will not update to newer versions of Android (since Huawei will need to buy a license for each new version of Android that unfortunately can't be issued to Google's). You will still be able to use WhatsApp.

If you already own an Android, it does not really have bad consequences.
