Fixing the Latest Apps Crashing Bug from Android System Webview Updates

[@Tmanaz480]

Play store doesnt show the update or uninstall buttons for me.

[@danielbenzon291]

Same here

[@ExplainingAndroid]

you can also go. . Settings -> Apps -> Android System WebView -> 3-dot icon in the top corner -> Uninstall Updates those steps were for Samsung's OneUI each OEM's skin will be a bit different. like MIUI is Settings - apps - manage apps - and then you can find android system webview there. where an uninstall updates option is I'm also reading some people have gotten the same result by doing the 'uninstall update' thing on the Google Chrome app - www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/mawrbr/weird_force_stop_message_keeps_appearing/grvpy8p/?context=3 1

[@ExplainingAndroid]

check my other reply for another method of finding the 'uninstall updates' option

[@danielbenzon291]

But i don't have 3-dot icon in the corner...

[@ExplainingAndroid]

which phone?

[@Mrs_Truth]

Thanks so much for the quick fix! I couldn't find anything else that helped and I've been messing around with this for a couple hours.

[@ExplainingAndroid]

meeee too! i was close to doing a factory reset. but I'm glad it didn't come to that. thank you for the feedback

[@miriamsouth3052]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU..!!!! I'm Spanish teacher and I couldn't do anything today because that issue...but you saved my life!!!!! Really grateful 🙏🙏🙏

[@ExplainingAndroid]

you're very welcome :) sucks the issue happened but at least there's a solution. thank you for the feedback, I'm happy to see it was of help

[@gunturherlambang152]

Thank you very much, my app keep crashing (even opening gmail crash) trying delete app data is fixing temporary. Didnt know that this is the core of the issue, uninstalling webview and it doesnt crash anymore 👍👍

[@ExplainingAndroid]

you're welcome. i was surprised too and was about to reset my phone because of it

[@joshuallamas680]

If you uninstall both Android accessibility Suite or Android system webview updates already it will be chrome that is the problem then uninstall update and restart phone

[@OhZjuchi]

I updated Chrome and Webview and when I opened Chrome it crashed 🙆🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@banjiman9869]

I don't have webview and I uninstalled chrome 3 times and disabled it multiple more times. This is frustrating. Google needs to get their shit together. I can't access my bank accounts.

[@ExplainingAndroid]

I'll see if there are any other suggestions

[@iamzarinakamal]

Me too, bank account, Waze, emails

[@NotMeHaHaBoo]

I went to my manage apps and I uninstalled android webview app updates and it worked. I haven 't tried to update to the newest update yet.

[@ExplainingAndroid]

I'm really surprised the issue is still ongoing. I assumed Google would have forced this update out to everyone instantly. thanks for the feedback! definitely glad to see it's still helping folks

[@bollockster5420]

Problem seems to have been resolved by updating Google Chrome on my Galaxy A5. That was me earlier impersonating my wife Mizue. Thanks for your assistance with this. It's greatly appreciated. I still cannot deal with Webview however.

[@credokasemiire2582]

Thank dude. This has worked the charm unlike all other things I've seen in videos.

[@joshuallamas680]

Sorry, I was wrong it is both for some phones. Android Accessibility Suite app or Android System Webview app if it doesn't work try uninstalling chromes updates. I did with my uncle's phone twice to go back two updates.

[@NoName-ov3ob]

I didn't realize how important system webview is for games. I disabled it to see if it would save me battery but when I tried playing my game, it kept crashing. I was worried if my game was somehow broken and I didn't want to uninstall it then I decided to enable system webview again because this was right after my game started giving me issues, and my game was working perfectly normal again like before I disabled it. So I'll never disable it again if it keeps my game working

[@mainlytoto29]

It worked! All I had to do was update chrome, thanks man

[@ExplainingAndroid]

you're welcome :D I'm happy to help out. thank you for the feedback

[@isforme2789]

😭 i wish it would help. Broke my phone and have now an samsung A51, tried it all and 1 app is still crashing, its an farming app (homestreet by suoersolid) and non of the things work and idk what to do now 😔 give up? Anything else i can do?

[@ExplainingAndroid]

I would go settings -> apps -> home street -> storage -> wipe cache first and then wipe data then try to open the app again

[@isforme2789]

@@ExplainingAndroid thanks for you comment. I tried it and any other app works fine after your video. I informed the support of that app. Might be the app if evweything else works fine.

[@sumicc]

Tried all the methods, checking for updates, doing the settings trick, etc. Didn't work. When I go to the google play store and search up Android System Webview the option to uninstall is not there nor the option to update it too. As for the settings method also didn't work. When I find the app on my setting app there's no option to remove updates. Please help.

[@ExplainingAndroid]

when you find it via the settings app, look for a 3-dot menu icon in the top right corner. i've noticed the "uninstall updates" option is sometimes tucked away in there

[@sumicc]

@@ExplainingAndroid omg found it! Thank you!

[@mizuetakase2017]

My Android System Webview app is disabled and I can't enable it in order to perform the uninstall updates. Play Store also has no Open or Install buttons. Have a Galaxy A5. Any further suggestions greatly appreciated.

[@ExplainingAndroid]

others get the same result by doing the 'uninstall updates' option on the Chrome app. try that

It didnt work for me so I uninstalled all Updates and restarted my Phone but some apps (for example spotify) still crash. What else can I do?

[@xXPippaPeepsXx]

How do you go to "My apps and games" in play store

[@ExplainingAndroid]

Tap the hamburger menu icon in the top left corner (or swipe in from the left side) and then you should see the 'my apps and games' option to tap somewhere toward the top of that menu

[@dacoolboy2449]

For me, the update isn't coming up and it won't allow me to uninstall it and it won't show up in apps in settings

[@ExplainingAndroid]

some get it to work by uninstalling the updates of the chrome app instead of the webview app

[@dacoolboy2449]

Hi, when I go to uninstall updates on system webview it says my data may get lost. What sort of data are they talking about? I don’t want to chance losing contacts or photos

[@ExplainingAndroid]

from what I'm reading, this impacting apps that rely on Android System Webview. so. . .if you can open the app and it doesn't crash. then it's not going to erase any data of it. but your contacts and photos are stored in separate folders or in the cloud (usually) anyways. so I don't think you're going to lose any of that data (I didn't when I did this last night)

[@justinmyhead7259]

I've don't this,even set up a new apn. Since I set up an apn the phone runs A lot faster but still won't load online apps or websites other then play store and tiktok

[@Mrg_0]

What does that app do? What happens when we uninstall it?

[@ExplainingAndroid]

it's a framework of sorts that other apps can use to display content. the apps which are force closing or closing right when you try to open them rely on this framework. and google pushed out an update that borks it. should only be temporary until they can get the new update rolled out to your device when we uninstall the updates, we're just rolling back the version of the app (think of it as downgrading an app). it reverts back to the version that was installed when you activated your device. so this way your other apps you want to use can still open like normal since the bugged code was uninstalled the app isn't being uninstalled, just the 'updates' to that app since you activated it/pulled it out of the box
