Today, while searching for something online using the Google search bar on my Android phone, I kept getting the error that the Google app stopped working. The search opened Chrome for a few seconds before crashing. All of a sudden, I kept getting similar error messages from a series of popular apps including Gmail, Flipp, Yahoo Finance and more. Frustrated, I uninstalled couple of apps to see if that worked, but it didn’t. Later, after searching online, the following solution was discovered by users who were facing the same issue. This article discusses how to fix Android apps that keep crashing after opening.

Step 5: Scroll down until you locate Android System Web View app. Tap Open.

After uninstalling the Android System WebView app, the problem disappeared. This solution also worked for many who were facing the same issue.
