Android Users: Are you experiencing multiple unexplained app crashes today?
Here is the solution that worked for me:

^ This isn't the first time Android System Web View has borked things, IIRC.
The other solution listed in the thread which I did not try is to uninstall all updates for Chrome and disable the app. (My Chrome was already disabled.)
@voltronic The textra notice is what clued me in. Of course, if I was paying attention to CoSo, I would have known sooner. Lesson learned. NEVER LOOK AWAY FROM CoSo.
yeah, I saw this on CoSo yesterday, so today when all my devices were like "update for android system webview available" I noped right outta that...
@opie @voltronic it has been resolved on my wife's phone and mine seems to have escaped. Both phones current on all updates and apps updated.
@SimplyZippy
Opposite situation here. Wife's phone never had the issue (same exact model and OS version; both auto-update). I did the lounge procedure on mine as described in the screenshot from the play store reviewer and all has been well since.
I had Chrome disabled on my phone; she did not. Not sure if that would have anything to do with it or not.
@voltronic @SimplyZippy
either of you know if this has been resolved?
I haven't updated webview on any of my devices, and the update still shows 22 Mar as last updated date...so I'm thinkin no?
(my apps do not auto-update)
