Those people who already have a Huawei phone and are using the said apps can continue to use them. Updates will also be given to the existing Huawei phone users.
Huawei has as of yet made no comment on this decision taken by Facebook. Now it is pertinent to mention here that the ban is on pre-installed Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram apps. Users can still download and install them on their own.
But if Google will restrict the access to Huawei phones to its Play stores then the users will not be able to have these apps.
