We’ve come across issues with users being unable to reply to or forward emails on older Samsung devices.
Symptoms: When user tries to send, reply or forward email they see “loading message” screen indefinitely.
Cause: This issue is caused by an automatic WebView update (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview&hl=en) on older Samsung devices running Android 6.0.1 or below.
Models we’ve seen impacted so far:
- Samsung Galaxy A5 - Samsung Galaxy A5 - Full phone specifications
- Samsung Galaxy A3 - Samsung Galaxy A3 - Full phone specifications
- Samsung Galaxy S5 - Samsung Galaxy S5 - Full phone specifications
Work Around:
Disable WebView on the device
- Settings
- Applications
- Application Manager
- More —> Show system Apps
- Find Android System Webview
- Disable this. It might ask to use factory settings, say yes to this.
- Keep Disabled.
