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.

I would also like to request for thisπ
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?
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.
What version of Android are you running?
