Advice regarding P40 Pro.

Search This thread
Hello everyone,

First of all - thanks for taking your time to read this and to eventually give me advice.

I have P40 pro since release. I am using this wonderful phone and I installed google services long time ago and they are working. I have Youtube and Maps working, Google play store working, for mail I am using classic Huawei Mail application, WhatsApp notifications and Viber notifications are working and thats all I need.

However on Youtube I cant cast on my TV. It says "Google Play Services needs to be updated".

Now I have seen that on my phone I have Google Play Services version of 20.12.14, Youtube us 18.15.35, GAM is 4.4.4 Google Play Store is 35.4.10-21.

In guide I have seen that latest version of Google Play Services is 21.24.56. Does Youtube cast (for TV) works with this version of Google Play Services?

Also to mention, I am on EMUI 11.0.0.260. There is update for 12.0.0.218 but I am afraid to update - not to loose Google and all working apps.

Questions:

Is it safe to upgrade EMUI to 12?
Should I downgrade and upgrade Google Play Services to latest - to get Youtube cast on TV?

One more time, thanks all for reading this.

You can upgrade to any version of EMUi.
The last stable version of Play Services is 21.24.56. A new version can provide Play Protect Errors sooner or later.
Never ( I mean NEVER) downgrade EMUI or reset the phone to factory settings ( especially on this times).
