On Android smartphones, there was a massive failure in the work of applications: what happened and how it is treated

Last night and throughout today, Android device owners around the world faced

with a problem: various popular applications began to crash without any reason.

What happened

Problems arose with Gmail, Google Play, and even some banking apps that simply refused to work correctly or at all.

As it turns out, this happened due to a failed update to Android System WebView, a system component that allows you to view web content on your smartphone.
