Smartphone help for HONOR X6

[mikes]

My dad has just purchased an HONOR X6, for the cloud storage does he need to create an ID account for this?
we both are not smartphone savvy and was wondering if anyone could help with this , thanks mike

Assuming you mean for the gallery app, yes, you will need an account. However, since you need to sign in with a Google account anyway, I would use Google's cloud solution instead and install Google Photos. Honor/Huawei only provides 5gb of free space while Google offers 15gb.

Yeah, he got photos & videos he needs to backup. So just to clarify will need to set up an HONOR ID/Account to get access to the cloud including the free storage?

Yes but as mentioned I wouldn't bother as Google's solution will have more free space.

Thanks for the feedback. will set it up tonight for my dad. do i need an email account to register the HONOR ID account or a phone number? apologies for the questions were not smartphone savyy
