As a result, Huawei users can now stream their favourite programmes from UKTV channels Dave, Yesterday and Drama, as well as browse thousands of TV episodes and box sets from the comfort of their smartphones and tablets.
Huawei has traditionally used Android, and mobile and tablet users have been able to get apps such as UKTV Play via Google's app store Google Play. But as a result of a dispute between the US administration and China involving Huawei, resulting in access to Google's services being restricted, Huawei has had to go its own way for all of its new phones and tablets. The two-year-old Huawei AppGallery is now the third largest app marketplace in the world.
Announcing the launch on Huawei AppGalllery, Hugo Allen, UKTV Play’s Head of Commercial said:
"We’re always looking to make our shows available to our viewers on as many devices and platforms as possible. By making the UKTV Play app available in the Huawei AppGallery, we can ensure that all Huawei mobile phone users can enjoy programmes from Dave, Drama and Yesterday wherever and whenever they want.
Anson Zhang, Managing Director of the UK Consumer Business Group, Huawei added:
The launch of UKTV Play on the Huawei AppGallery marks an exciting step for the business. We are thrilled our UK customers can now enjoy instant access to their favourite shows from Dave, Yesterday and Drama channels in an easy and accessible way.
