In case anyone else is having issues with the apps (crashing/closing) on their Samsung phones, there is an update you need to uninstall to fix the issue. I had a hell of a time until I uninstalled the update:

Yep, me since yesterday. I'll check your link

BTW, it isn't all of the apps, just the ones I use most. I fixed most of them be re-installing them but some it won't re-install

FYI. Everything went back to normal once I did the uninstall.

There wasn't a WebView update to install but was able to update the Chrome app and that fixed it. Thanks Whodo


I was close to wiping my phone too, hoping it would fix it


ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I was getting mega PISSED last night when my email started crashing. I didn't realize how much I like having all my email addresses come to 1 inbox until the thing started crashing.

I did a Google search and an article popped up that told me what app to uninstall.

Not a tech guy here but just wanted to clarify, the fix is to uninstall the update on the certain app, NOT to uninstall the app itself. I have no idea what that would do. Did not want to send the wrong message.

Yep, that's what I read when I Googled the problem. I couldn't figure out who to uninstall the update so I uninstalled the app. Luckily I haven't had any issues since.

what app was crashing, i haven't any issues with s8+ or s10+.

too many problems with chrome for too long.

And THIS is why 'Auto-Updates' is a NEVER a Good Thing!

Android system Webview, whatever that is.

Sometimes an update will lose an app because that app is no longer available through the app store. It happened to me when I bought a new phone and tried to transfer my apps to it.
