Dont see an update option for this app in the app store. It says last release was March 12th. How exactly do I get this update?

I was able to just do a Chrome update to solve the issue on my phone.

No action required if you’re not experiencing issues.

If you’re affected and not able to update, trying to “uninstall updates” for “Android System WebView” will revert it to ROM-included unaffected version and solve it.

That sounds very risky, since untrusted code shown in any webview can then exploit long fixed chrome bugs.

I uninstalled the updates and was then able to install the March 22 version. It didn't offer any update until I did that.
