Quick App Center lets you use and manage Quick apps, which can do almost everything regular apps can do but don’t need to be installed, don’t use much space, and update automatically.
According to Huawei, Quick apps are installation-free apps that are subject to a new set of standards supported by 12+ major Chinese mobile phone manufacturers, representing 85%+ of the Chinese market.
At least four major Chinese manufacturers are set to deploy quick apps globally within 6 months. Quick apps support all H5 apps, all H5 games, 90% of app categories, and 90% of game categories.

- After adding quick apps to the home screen, users can open them directly by touching the app icons.
Developers:
The Quick App platform currently supports over 800 quick apps with over 2000 developers in China and soon this service will be available to global users and developers with additional apps and Integrated Development Environment (IDE) support.
