Ratings and reviews

I installed Android System WebView Canary mainly to test how a couple of apps I use handle in-app web pages and login screens. It’s not the kind of app you open directly every day, but after switching to the Canary WebView, embedded pages loaded smoothly in the apps I checked. I also like that it updates frequently, which is useful if you want to catch WebView issues early. Definitely more for testing or advanced users than casual use, but it has worked well for my needs so far.

Great diagnostic tool for testing and development. I swapped over to this version in my phone's developer settings to test how some embedded in-app browser pages and login screens handle upcoming Chromium changes. The daily updates are perfect for catching rendering bugs early. It can occasionally be a bit unstable, but that's exactly what you expect from a Canary build definitely a solid resource for advanced users.

the webview version 145.0.7632.159 is broken and refused to render pages using system default font, switching to canary fixed the problem for me.
