Android System WebView Customer Insights

1. I need a solution as buying a new Chromebook is NOT one of them!!! To update go into the Apps in settings, open the Play Store App, Clear the Storage and Cache.

2. Lots of good things with the update but also major cons.Today, most of my apps kept crashing along with my google widget.

3. This may seem like an overreaction for an app that won't update but it's the little things over the years that have been driving me away from Google all togetherA very poorly developed app.

4. The scary thing is when things like this happen, it leads you to believe it's time to upgrade to a new phone or even so, I'm sure many end up upgrading instead of fixing the issue.I wish I could rate it less.

5. If this app doesn't work, why am I not able to Uninstall or Update it as per the Google recommendation.

6. Having it so we have to download an app to make the phone run more effectively is sneaky, especially when it isn't working.So haven't been able to open several items including email.

7. Finally uninstalled all updates and things are back to normal.Refuses to update still as of 8/12/2021.

8. Every time it does it crashes and or causes bugs with most any app I have downloaded.Update 10/2/21: Same problems.

9. I am using a Chromebook and all the other options/solutions are for cell phones and I can't even find the app in my Chromebooks list of apps.

10. Switched browsers and disabled this trash to avoid a problem I didn't create.I no longer receive notifications for Gmail and any media app I have stops after about 30 seconds.

11. Original: An update several months ago caused sections of pages to be blank.
