Early Thursday morning/late last Wednesday night, Google released new versions of Android System WebView & Google Chrome. If you are experiencing constant app closure/crashes, please open Google Play Store and update both apps to the latest version.

Google has provided more details and steps for updating Android System WebView and Google Chrome as well as how to manually update WebView or Chrome if the update of either app fails to complete.

https://support.google.com/android/thread/103561027?hl=en

“To resolve this issue, Android System WebView and Google Chrome need to be updated. Google Play will soon download the update to these apps on affected devices, or you can update manually to resolve the issue immediately. Some devices do not have WebView pre-installed and only need to update Chrome.

To manually update Android System WebView and Google Chrome right now:

Open the Play Store app.
Search for “Android System WebView.”
Select Update. If it doesn't say “Update”, skip this step.
Repeat these steps for Google Chrome”

What will happen if we disable this program? I did the uninstall update thing and it fixed the crashing problem for now but I'm afraid it's going to do it again.. what does this program even do?
