The issue was due to a system component called Android System WebView that lets Android apps display web content.

Google now has a fix that requires users to update Android System WebView to version 89.0.4389.105 and Google Chrome to the latest version. Both are available on Google Play.

Android apps like Gmail and Google Pay were crashing and “WebView” was to blame; Google says the problem is now fixed — This afternoon, a number of Android users (self included) suddenly saw notifications pop up on their devices saying that apps had stopped running.

Android apps like Gmail are crashing and ‘WebView’ is to blame
Install a newer update to clear up any error messages.

Update (3/23 5:30 AM ET): Google’s status page now gives the all clear, and instructs affected users to open the Play Store and download the latest update for WebView as well as Google Chrome to avoid errors. I tried this on my phone and initially downloaded the previous update that was causing problems, but after I checked again and downloaded the new update everything is working smoothly once again.
