Had the recent issue where all apps stopped working that used webview. I took the standard update the next day, which was better, but still had issues. For instance, if I was in gmail, the last email content would overlay the email listings partially, blocking all navigation. I had to close the app and reopen to proceed. This beta version seems to work better. No issues so far.

This install works when the standard latest webview won't install. The problem is some services still won't work properly. It only works because it allows you to use the last version that worked on your phone and for me that is well over a year old. My phone works with version 80 and the latest version is in the 90's already. I'm using samsung galaxy s10+ My phone was still new when this stopped working. Edited

For some reason when I'm on the Beta WebView, the Web previews won't load within my Google Messages app, for RCS chats where someone sent me a URL. When I change back to the standard WebView in Developer Options, the previews work again.

Didn't fix the problem. Selected it as default, uninstalled previous version, restarted phone multiple times, and permutations thereof. Can't get through a full song or article. Crash bang boom. Every time. Better type this review quickly! I don't want to give Apple my money, but what is the alternative? A phone that I can't use apps on??! Where is the proactive customer communication?
