Android System WebView is a feature that allows apps running on the Android operating system to display content from the internet without having to open a web browser. Since it is a part of the Android operating system and apps use it for a specific purpose, you don't have to worry about it running on your phone. You can disable Android System WebView if you want, but doing so will cause some apps to stop working properly.
What happens if I uninstall Android System WebView?
Android System WebView is a component of Android that retrieves and serves content from the internet without opening a separate browser. It was originally built into Android as an integral part of the operating system and was not visible to users. It was split into a separate app in Android 5, which is why you can see it in your app list.
Since Android System WebView is an app and you can see it in your app list, you can interact with it just like any other app. You can disable it, force it to stop, clear its storage and cache, and see how much data it has used. It also gets updated through Google Play, just like any other app.
Android System WebView is an Android OS component that allows apps to access and display content from the Internet without opening a separate web browser. When an app developer wants to display content from the Internet, such as a website, they have three options: display the content directly in the app using WebView, open the content in Chrome using the Custom Tabs feature, or open a web browser, such as Chrome, and load the content there.
