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.

Thank you for the help! And the app that was demanding for webview was
google drive but as you said updating chrome solves the problem so after
that I didn't come across any issue till now now i can upload my files to
drive. Thank you :)

Do you remember what the prompt from Google Drive looked like and when it popped up? Do you know what version of Chrome you had before you updated?


Satya, can someone from test check whether Drive has a banner/prompt for outdated webview, and whether it has the wrong advice in it? :)
