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

If you are being asked to update WebView by an app, you should instead update Chrome.

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 app 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.
