Connect Huawei to PC: how it works

Your Huawei smartphone can be easily connected to the PC. All you need is a USB cable and you have saved your data securely on your PC with just a few clicks. We'll show you how this works best.

How to connect your Huawei to a Windows PC

The best and easiest way to connect your Huawei to the PC is by cable. Your charger usually consists of a USB cable and a separate adapter. If this is not the case, you can get a suitable USB cable at low cost.

• Connect the USB cable to your smartphone and then connect the cable to the USB socket on your PC.
• The PC then recognizes your smartphone. A window appears on the screen of your Huawei in which you have to choose whether you want to charge the smartphone on the PC or "transfer files".
• Select "Transfer files".
• Now a window opens in your PC and you can transfer the desired data to your PC. Otherwise you will find the smartphone similar to a hard drive under "This PC" in Explorer.
• You can also connect your smartphone and your PC via Bluetooth. First start the Bluetooth connection on your Huawei device. Now do the same on your PC and select the device as soon as your computer has found it.
• Alternative: To back up your data, newer Huawei devices have the so-called "Huawei Mobile Cloud". This is how you save your data online and can access it simultaneously from your PC and mobile phone.

Connect Huawei to a Mac

You connect your Hawei to a Mac just like to a PC.

• Take the charging cable and connect it to your Mac.
• To enable communication between your Mac and Huawei, you need the Android File Transfer program. You can find this as a free download from us.
• With the help of the program you can transfer the data from your Huawei to Mac.
• You can also transfer data to your Mac via Bluetooth. To do this, activate Bluetooth on your Mac and switch on the Bluetooth connection on your Huawei.
• Now select the Huawei device from the list of your Mac. The first time you connect your device to your Mac, you must reconfigure the device.
