If you own a Huawei phone, there’s some bad news for you.

Google has cut phone maker Huawei off from some updates to the Android operating system dealing a blow to the Chinese firm.

New Huawei smartphones will also lose access to popular Google apps.

BBC reports the move comes after the Trump administration added Huawei to a list of companies that American firms cannot trade with unless they have a licence.

In a statement, Google said it was "complying with the order and reviewing the implications".

Huawei declined to comment.
