Huawei MatePad 10.4 receives HarmonyOS feature update [Global]

Huawei has pushed off a new HarmonyOS feature update for the MatePad 10.4 device users across the globe. The update lands on the latest HarmonyOS 2.0 software with a bag of surprising additions.

The newest Huawei MatePad 10.4 HarmonyOS feature update is rolling out with version 2.0.0.241(C432E220R1P2). On the flip side, it holds a package size that weighs up to 4.27 Gigabytes. Therefore, we recommend users opt for a standard Wi-Fi connection for the installation procedure.

Since the update is fetching the devices through the OTA medium. Hence it might take some while to approach all the eligible devices at one time. However, users might check the Settings menu in order to grab the update manually.

Simply navigate to the Settings menu. Select the Software Updates followed by System & Updates. Further, tap on the CHECK FOR UPDATES. Click on the Download & Install tab, once you find the update.
