          It uses WebView, which is a part of the Android OS. On older Android versions (before 5.0) it is impossible to update it. On never versions it is updated same way as any other app - using google play.



          Starting from Android 6.0 there is a way to choose a WebView service in developer options, but most part of users are unable to do it by default (because it requires turning on developer options).



          Starting from Android 7.0 Google Chrome WebView is set as default WebView service, so WebView is updated together with Google Chrome updates.



          Unfortunately, some manufacturers (e.g. Meizu) prefer to reinvent a wheel, and embed their own WebView service into their firmware. Sometimes it works not the way it should.
