Webview App will NOT enable

Reported by leighgre...@gmail.com, Aug 2 2017 
No matter what I try neither the old webview app or the new BETA version will enable on my Samsung  S6 Edge. Also, as of June 29th, 2017 my Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will not turn on. I  am not sure if this is all related.The old Webview I found as disabled in my systems apps after Samsung installed a new app called "Secure Folder" which is also the time my WiFi and Bluetooth stopped working. Please assist. 

Thank you

Device name: Samsung Galaxy S6 edge
Android version:7.0
WebView version (from system settings -> Apps -> Android System WebView):60.0.3112.78
Application: Webview

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.
