Google has resumed the distribution of updates for its browser on the Android platform. Users can now install Chrome 79 without worrying about it affecting the performance of other applications. It should be noted that the distribution of updates for the browser was started a few days ago but was .
Developers took this step after numerous complaints from users who reported that after installing Chrome 79, data in other applications that use the WebView system component disappeared from their devices. The developers explained that the update does not erase data from the device's memory but makes it 'invisible', which has not eased users' concerns.
The developers announced that the Chrome browser update will be available for all Android devices within this week. After installing the update package, all data from applications that use the WebView component will become accessible to users again. This way, the developers managed to promptly address the situation, solve the problem, and release the necessary update.
"The mobile browser update Chrome 79 for Android devices was halted after a problem with the WebView component was discovered, which caused some users' application data to become inaccessible. This data was not lost and will become available in the applications again once the fix is delivered to users' devices. This will happen this week. We apologize for the inconvenience," said a Google representative commenting on the issue.
