Just a question~ 🤔

The HarmonyO S4.2.0system modified by Huawei on the basis of Android 12 will not damage Kaspersky's ability to scan and kill malicious software, right?

 

Is the ability of Kaspersky to run on a regular Android 12 system the same?

And is this viewpoint reasonable?

Hello @jjjhjkhjkhkjh

That's a great question!

When considering the compatibility of Kaspersky security software with HarmonyOS, there are a few important points to keep in mind:

1. Ecosystem Compatibility: Harmony-OS, developed by Huawei, has its own set of APIs and framework which may not fully support all third-party security software. Kaspersky, traditionally focused on Windows, macOS, and Android, would need specific adaptations to work effectively on Harmony-OS.

2. Official Support: It’s crucial to check whether Kaspersky officially supports Harmony-OS. The best source for this information would be Kaspersky's official website or their customer support. They may have specific products designed or optimized for the Harmony-OS environment.

3. User Feedback: If Kaspersky software is available for Harmony-OS, user reviews and feedback can provide insights into its performance and compatibility. Look for forums, tech review sites, or community discussions focused on Harmony-OS users.

4. Ecosystem Compatibility:Also just come to my attention that Harmony OS, developed by Huawei, exists in two versions: Harmony OS, which still uses the Android kernel, and Harmony OS NEXT, a fully self-developed mobile operating system that no longer relies on the Android kernel. This distinction is essential because compatibility with Kaspersky and other third-party security software may vary between these versions. Kaspersky, traditionally focused on Windows, macOS, and Android, would need specific adaptations to work effectively on Harmony OS NEXT, given its unique framework.

5. Official Support: It’s crucial to check whether Kaspersky officially supports Harmony OS or Harmony OS NEXT. The best source for this information would be Kaspersky's official website or their customer support. They may have specific products designed or optimized for these different Harmony OS environments.

   User Feedback: If Kaspersky software is available for either Harmony OS or Harmony OS NEXT, user reviews and feedback can provide insights into its performance and compatibility. Look for forums, tech review sites, or community discussions focused on users of both Harmony OS versions.

   Alternatives: If Kaspersky is not compatible, consider other reputable security solutions that are confirmed to work with Harmony OS or Harmony OS NEXT. Always opt for well-reviewed software from trusted vendors.

   To ensure you have the best protection, you should always confirm compatibility directly from the software vendor or reputable tech sources before installation.

Thank you

Hello, @KarDip

Harmony OS NEXT, It is a self-developed mobile phone operating system, which does not use the Android kernel, and Harmony OS still uses the Android kernel. This needs to be clarified. 🙂

Hello @Wesley.Zhang

Thanks for pointing that out slipped my mind.

Hi Guys

Kaspersky has not yet officially announced support for HarmonyOS Next, so compatibility isn't fully confirmed. However, here are some points to consider regarding potential Kaspersky compatibility with HarmonyOS Next:

1. App Compatibility with Huawei Ark Compiler: Since HarmonyOS Next apps run on the Huawei Ark Compiler instead of Android, Kaspersky’s current Android-based apps may not directly work on this OS without adjustments. For Kaspersky to support HarmonyOS Next, it may need to release a version compiled or adapted specifically for the HarmonyOS ecosystem.

2. Huawei Mobile Services (HMS): Kaspersky might choose to integrate with HMS, as Huawei has shifted from Google’s GMS to HMS across its ecosystem. Any Kaspersky app that adapts to HMS could potentially run on HarmonyOS Next, provided it is designed to be compatible with Huawei’s APIs.

3. Cloud and Network Compatibility: If Kaspersky’s security tools involve cloud-based services (such as updates and real-time threat data), they would likely need to work with Huawei’s cloud infrastructure, which is fully integrated within the HarmonyOS ecosystem.

4. Future Possibilities: Given the growth of HarmonyOS and Huawei’s increased market share in China and other regions, security software vendors like Kaspersky may see value in developing versions compatible with HarmonyOS Next.

If you need Kaspersky security on a HarmonyOS device in the future, checking Kaspersky’s announcements or Huawei’s AppGallery for HarmonyOS-compatible security apps would be best. Alternatively, HarmonyOS does offer its own built-in security features, though they may not provide the same level of specialized protection Kaspersky offers.

Thank you

@卡迪普@Wesly.Zhang

Thank you guys.

1.Based on your discussion, can we conclude that Kaspersky functions equally well on HarmonyOS as it does on Android, but HarmonyOS NEXT still requires software adaptation?

2.What are your thoughts on the viewpoints presented in the following picture ?
