Question: My phone keeps force closing apps like Tumblr, Waze, and TikTok. What can I do?

 

Answer:

This might be a known issue with some Galaxy phones. It's caused by a problem with something called 'Android System Webview', which is part of another app called 'Chrome'. Luckily, there's a fix! Just follow these steps:

 

Update two apps - Android System Webview and Chrome - to the latest version. Here's how:

a. Go to Settings

b. Tap on Apps

c. Look for 'Webview' or 'Chrome' (you can use the search bar to find them faster)

d. Tap on the app, then tap on 'App details in store'

e. Tap 'Update'

After updating both apps, restart your phone. That should fix the problem!

But wait, there's more! If you have a special version of Android System Webview called 'Beta', you'll need to remove the updates for that first. Here's how:

Go to Settings

Tap on Apps

Look for 'Webview Beta' (use the search bar if needed)

Tap on the three little dots (they're usually in the top right corner)

Tap 'Uninstall updates'

Now, update the regular Webview app to the latest version using the same steps as earlier.

And that's it! Your phone should work better now. Remember, if you see any fancy words you don't understand, just ask someone who knows about phones. They'll help you out!
