What it is

Huawei HiSuite lets users manage a HUAWEI device from a computer. It handles contacts, messages, pictures, videos, applications, and other data, and can manage files on internal storage and SD cards. Users can export files to a computer, import them to a phone, back up phone data to a computer, and transfer backed-up data to devices. HiSuite also offers 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 functions include sending and receiving messages on a computer, exporting messages, and mass texting. Connecting requires enabling HDB, approving phone authorizations, and entering an eight-digit verification code; the HDB authorizations can later be revoked. HiSuite is free for Windows and Mac, but the Mac version supports only picture, video, and file management, plus backup and restore. Listed Windows requirements include Windows 7, 8.1, 10, or 11 in 32-bit or 64-bit editions, 500 MB of available disk space, and 1 GB of RAM.
