How to register?

Open the My Huawei app on your eligible smartphone or tablet. Go to the Home and select Upgrade. Follow the on-screen instructions and apply for the beta activity. Ensure that the app is running on the latest build or the 14.1.9.300 version.

Important Points

Note that those devices already running on the HarmonyOS NEXT beta version don’t re-sign up. They will automatically get the new testing build, once the company begins the rollout. If you don’t receive the alert, wait patiently for the update.

Being a beta version, the new version could be incompatible with some apps. Also, take a backup beforehand using apps like Phone Clone, Cloud Backup, and Mobile Assistant. Make sure that your device has a 30% battery and 8GB of storage.
