Android app forced termination is caused by WebView, Google guides app update

Google commented that the Android app crashes in some environments, which has been occurring since the early morning of March 23, is due to a bug in Android's WebView function. The WebView issue has been fixed, and users affected by the app not starting will be resolved by updating the WebView app and Google Chrome app via Google Play.

Android's WebView app is one of the system components pre-installed on Android devices. It is used when displaying web content in Android apps, and allows third-party apps to display web content without using a browser. The latest version as of March 23rd is 89.0.4389.105.

On the "Google Workspace Status Dashboard" where you can check the performance information of Google services, the failure information was updated around 15:18, and it was announced that the failure of the Gmail application had been resolved. Again, updating the Android WebView app and Chrome app will fix the series of issues.

Fixed an issue where the Android app was crashing for some users. If the problem persists, please update his WebView and Google Chrome on Android system from Google Play Store. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. https://t.co/IYtyEr5FC8https://t.co/JyU6EsGNSz
