In Android N the WebView and Chrome packages were combined in order to reduce the update size for users. Updating Chrome also updates WebView. This means that in the Play store the WebView package will appear to be permanently disabled. The Play store WebView entry is only relevant for users with older operating systems, and users who have decided to disable Chrome.

If you need, or are being asked by an application, to update WebView, the action you should take now is to UPDATE CHROME. This should resolve any issues you are currently experiencing.

We would also like to understand what led you to file this bug so that we can reduce the number of users experiencing this issue and work with application developers to direct users to the correct Play store page.

If an application has directed you to update WebView, and sent you to the WebView page in the Play store to do so, please comment on this bug to tell us which application did so.

Finally, if updating Chrome does not stop the application from redirecting you to the Play store, please also provide that information on this bug.

Sorry for the late response. 

I had installedAudible app and a game called Planet Commander made by GDCompany
When I tried launching either one it would say I needed to update android system web veiw and had a button that linked to this in the google app store. Though I was unable to update this way.

I did find the fix.  I had a second google account on my phone that seemed to be keeping me from updating certain google apps.  I got ride of it and were update them and it works now.

Thanks for letting us know, the information you provided is very helpful.
