Did you sideload the Google apps yourself, and was EMUI updated recently? Because the P30 series doesn't come with any Google apps and services pre-installed, following the Trump ban.

Didn't sideload but EMUI updated I'm in the UK don't know if it's the Trump ban might have to do a reboot thanks

Did your P30 Plus originally come with Google Play Store, Gmail, YouTube, etc?

Basically Trump(POTUS45) put Huawei on the "Entity List" which forbids US companies, like Google, from doing business with Huawei.

And AFAIK it is from P30 series that don't have Google Mobile Services(GMS) installed.

The icons turned blue, but do those apps still work?

It looks like it could be a custom icon theme that's got in there somehow, that's only changed the Google apps.

I've got a China version Mate 10, which originally didn't have GMS, but I installed it myself, And I've not seen anything like what you've got on your P30 Pro.
