Android Webview

Do I really need this? Just saw an update for it in google play.

In Nougat, Android System Webview should be disabled by default, since Chrome is supposed to take its place. But if you've disabled Chrome, then I believe Android System Webview is important to keep enabled and up to date, for security reasons.

If it is disabled, it would't asked to be updated no?
Do you know what is this app for?

If you disabled Chrome, that might be why Android System Webview is active.

Confirming, I have chrome, (and all the Google apps) disabled, so I still get webview updates.
