Do I need Android System WebView Dev on the Tab S8?

Jammy97 — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 12:22:52 GMT

Hi all,

Just a quick one. Do I need Android System WebView Dev on my Tab S8 Tablet?

Also, what is Android System WebView Dev?

Thank you very much.

Hi @Jammy97 Yes you do need Android System Webview , a lot of Apps depend on it.

Rather than every app needing to use a built in Web Browser Google developed a built in system and should ensure greater functionality. The Webview is a piece of code and the Developer only needs to add three short lines of code, ask for permission to use the Internet and open web content with a few more lines of code. Therefore benefits both Developers and users. More detail in this article https://www.androidcentral.com/what-android-system-webview-and-why-do-so-many-apps-depend-it

The dev version updates weekly and is included with your Device to provide system services.

Hi, thanks for your comment. I'm not sure why I don't have it on my Tablet Tab S8 in the first place? I'll install now. Thank you for the article.

@JAMES4578, sorry I'm a bit confused. Do I need to do something? So I've installed it. Do I need to set something up because I'm a bit baffled? Thanks.

Was a few years ago but was obviously an issue. May be better with standard version Android System Webview (without the Dev at end) It is ususlly pre installed.

Hi, thanks for your comment. The other one is the Dev (which I currently have). There's either Beta or Dev. So I uninstall Dev and reinstall Beta. Is that correct? Thanks
