@buckaroo1970 -- Thanks for the report. Please follow the below steps for 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.

Thanks!!

Thanks Sandeep Kumar,I shall try to update the Chrome first. Actually believe this is from  certain cellular carriers whom do not want to pay up for the modern text format that started up in about 1996. T-9word and other word mining common text applications. Fact is the carriers either re-invested back into technology per My request and started some 501c foundations to help with some other people's issues of safety and to guarantee some type of reliable mode of communication in areas where signals where not and still to this are not getting very good signals. Not even w/4-g connections.Thanks Sincerely,Richard A Zipperer III.
