Hi, I have the same issue and my webview is already disabled. There is no option to uninstall it. 

Only a few apps are affected, reinstalling them does not help. There is also no option to revert updates on those apps.

Hi all!

I've merged a few of the threads covering this one.

Advice we've received:

"Samsung is aware of this phenomenon which may appear on Galaxy devices due to Google Webview issue and this problem was already resolved with the latest app updates of Android System Webview and Chrome, 89.0.4389.105 version."

To update Android System Webview

Settings >Apps > Search Webview > Tab Android System Webview > App details in store > Update.

To update Google Chrome

Settings > Apps > Chrome > App details in store > Update

Please note that If the Update menu is not available, please tap the Enable button to activate app update.

As of 3/23 8:45am EST Updated to latest WebView version on a Galaxy S9 and resolved all issues. Various email applications and user-installed apps that were all previously crashing are working again.
