The GoPaint app was launched in May this year to enhance the painting experience for users. It comes with various beautiful canvases, different types of brushes, and tutorials that can help a beginner become a Pro in the painting world.

A netizen recently asked when the company will launch the GoPaint native HarmonyOS app version. In response, a Huawei moderator in the community said the company is working on this process and the results will be out till Q1 2025.

“HarmonyOS NEXT is being improved. After the upgrade, HarmonyOS NEXT does not support”Born to Draw”. This feature is being urgently adapted. It is expected to support in the first quarter of 2025. Please wait patiently for the actual push time. Thank you for your understanding and support.”

It is unclear what the new Huawei GoPaint HarmonyOS NEXT app will bring in Q1 2025 for its users. Although this upgrade will likely make the respective application faster, smoother, and more efficient towards relevant tasks.

Users will get a new and significant app performance with the new GoPaint HarmonyOS NEXT app. We may hit more inputs on this matter in the next year.
