Android system we view not installed?

Reported by jeanm...@gmail.com, Jul 23 2017

Issue description

THIS TEMPLATE IS FOR FILING BUGS ON THE ANDROID SYSTEM WEBVIEW. GENERAL WEB
BUGS SHOULD BE FILED USING A DIFFERENT TEMPLATE!

Jeannie
Samsung Galaxy s6
Device name: SAMSUNG-SM-G920V
Android version: 7.0
WebView version (from system settings -> Apps -> Android System WebView): 55.0.2883.91
Application: Android system webview
Application version: 55.0.2883.91

URLs (if applicable):

Android play store States that this app is a Beta version. Also states that it is disabled. So i go into Settings, Application manager, show system apps, and scrol down to see Android system webview, on the screen it does show disabled, although I did not disable it. When I open this up, the enable button is greyed out (diabled) however the force sto pbutton is enabled. How can you forcestop an app that has supposedly been disabled? I have no clue. Further, the storage states that there is 8.kb of data used, but 0kb of app. How is thus possible? The app shows up nowhere else on my phone. I am very confused at this point, and am about ready to delete as much of this app as my phone will allow.

Sincerely;

Jeannue

Hi Jeannue, in Android 7.0 the functionality of WebView is provided by Chrome application. The Android System Webview package that appears in the PlayStore is shown as disabled by design.
Whenever you need to update the WebView, please install the latest version of Chrome.
