that link isn't a safe and secure link. im not gonna open that link.

It's a link to the thread in the Samsung members app, and you can verify that by checking the url and using a bit of common sense.

You asked for urgent help and have been given it. The linked thread has details on the situation, and the two main routes to fix it (the second of which will almost certainly fix it in your case). If you can't be bothered to read a simple thread, don't expect any further help.

My Galaxy S20 Ultra performed a system update last night.  Since then every single app has been crashing.  Gmail, Facebook, everything.  I tried deleting app cache and force closing the app to no avail.  Then deleted app data for gmail, and it seemed to work, but the next time I restarted my phone it started crashing again.  I wiped the cache partition, and still all of my apps keep crashing.  I really do not want to have to do a factory reset, given that some of the apps i use require that I open the app in order to backup their apps data, and so if I cannot open the app, i cannot backup the data, and thus lose my app data.

Hello

Just after the the update, some apps have stopped working and seemingly it was due to Android WebView.

Android WebView is a system component powered by Chrome that allows Android apps to display web content on apps without actually opening any browser.

How to uninstall Android System WebView:

1. Open Google Play Store

2. Search "Android System WebView"

3.  tap Uninstall

This app may still reinstall itself, hence, we will stop the auto update:

1. Still in Google Play Store

2. Tap Menu (3 lines in upper left)

3.  Settings

4. Auto update apps

5.  Select Don't auto-update apps

Next, turn off and on the phone. 

😉
