What it is
Huawei HiSuite is computer software for managing a HUAWEI device from a Windows PC or Mac. It lets users organize contacts, messages, pictures, videos, applications, and other data, as well as files stored internally or on an SD card. Files can be imported to a phone or exported to a computer, and phone data can be backed up to a computer and transferred to devices. HiSuite also provides mobile-system upgrade and rollback functions. If a device’s system crashes and it will not turn on, System Recovery can restore it to factory settings. Messaging features include sending and receiving messages on a computer, exporting messages, and sending messages in bulk. Setup involves enabling HDB, approving phone authorizations, and entering an eight-digit verification code; those authorizations can later be revoked. HiSuite is free for Windows and Mac. The Mac version supports only picture, video, and file management, plus backup and restore. Windows requirements include Windows 7, 8.1, 10, or 11, 500 MB of available disk space, and 1 GB of RAM.
