Anyway to disable Outdated System Webview alert? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I know my phone isn't compatible anymore and features won't work, but the constant red exclamation mark at the bottom is bothersome even though the app is still working fine enough.

Edit: Webview version identifier being sent to apps still reports as an old version due to an android 9 bug or something so my webview is updated. I would just like the notification to go away.

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.

Do you have chrome enabled? From android 7-9 they were a single app. Maybe, that's the reason it warns about this.

[–] Meatwagon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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!

which device are you on? it might be possible to update the webview itself.

[–] Meatwagon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Galaxy Note 8, which no longer receives broad Android system updates

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Meatwagon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, this is stock. I haven't tried on Apkmirror yet but I'll give it a go.
