Android System WebView is a core system component powered by Chrome that allows Android apps to display web content without opening a separate web browser [1, 2].

It is to disable or uninstall this package. Doing so will cause many apps that rely on web content to crash or fail to load [1, 2]. On newer versions of Android (Android 7.0 through 9.0), this functionality was sometimes handled by Google Chrome, but it has since returned to being a standalone component [2].

If a recent update caused apps to crash, go to the app's settings page as described above.

Tap if available. Keeping this current is vital for security and app stability [2, 3]. Clear Cache and Data : Go to Settings > Apps > See all apps .
