HMS Core reaches version 5.0

Huawei is now crowd-sourcing network-based positioning. This will be used for fencing features (e.g. detecting when you arrive home) as well as location-specific and contextual push messages.

Currently, HMS Core is used in over 170 countries by more than 600 million users, says Huawei, and there are over 55,000 apps available.
