Android System WebView

Android System WebView is the native Android application which acts as a web page viewer and whose security updates will protect all our information.

Android system component for displaying web pages

Our Android device includes some services intended for the internal system and not for direct use, since they do not have a graphical user interface as such, but optimize the use of other applications. This is exactly the case with Android System WebView.

What exactly is Android System WebView?

This is an internal component that allows other applications to display web content through their own user interface using Chrome's technology. With the help of this component, each application has an internal and simplified browser that works on the basis of Chrome. This allows access to links without having to leave the application. This saves time and consumes less device resources.

We're talking about a fairly limited browser that's just for displaying web content. There is no way to access the tab system, read-only mode, bookmarks, or any of the many options that a full Google Chrome browser offers. But precisely because it is Chrome, it always offers a safe surfing environment, which also allows developers to add functions to their apps that can only be configured via the Internet.

On the other hand, due to the nature of this application, we must be careful to update it regularly so that it is not permeable to malicious attacks. Google updates them regularly to allow security vulnerabilities to be fixed in as little time and on as many devices as possible. Of course, at Malavida we have the latest version on offer.
