Android System WebView

The app wants to be updated. But it just sits at pending, spinning away, doing absolutely nothing. So I restart phone, nope, still nothing. Then it tells me suddenly that it's installing, and again sits and spins away. This goes on for three hours during which time I use a non-Google product which works like a dream. It's difficult to understand how a company can survive with products that do nothing to help their customers.

Just rubbish. Clearly this has not been properly thought through. How can you just leave so many customers without their ability to access bank accounts, emails etc. We are still in lockdown and a lot of these services are more important than ever. I have tried numerous times to follow the half baked instructions to fix this issue with no success. The apps are still pending after 2 days!!! Get a proper solution in place immediately.

The latest update, released 12 March 2021, broke a number of other apps for me, including Google (search) and Samsung's Email app. Whenever I tried to use them, they would crash with the error message " keeps stopping". Not only could I not access my emails, but every minute I'd get this error message poping up, as the email app presumably restarted or tried to sync. Very irritating! I'm lucky I managed to discover the issue was this, and uninstall all updates!
