which device are you on? it might be possible to update the webview itself.
Galaxy Note 8, which no longer receives broad Android system updates
are you running the stock rom and have google play store? if so, try updating the webview there.
webview is kind of separate from android system itself and can be updated separately.
Unfortunately it's not available for this device in the play store.
hmm that's weird.. have you tried installing one from apkmirror? you're running stock android 9 right?
Hey I also have this webview message. I'm running lineageos with microg (Android 15). I just ignore the error message but I'd wanna know if this could make the app crash in the future.
A possible workaround, if it works for you: make voyager open links in the default browser in settings
Thank you for the suggestion. I've toggled that setting but the alert is still there.
Do you have chrome enabled? From android 7-9 they were a single app. Maybe, that's the reason it warns about this.
Yes, chrome is enabled and updated.
I have an Android 9 or 10 device. I can check if it works fine later when I find the time to charge it.
I'd appreciate it, thank you!
What version of Android are you running?
