Google will not fix an Android bug

An Android bug that reportedly affects about a billion owners will not be corrected by Google.

The bug is for all versions of the bug Android from version 4.3 and lower and concerns the WebView component of the operating system, while Android versions 4.4 and 5.0 remain unaffected. Essentially, the component allows viewing web pages from some applications without the need to open its browser .

Google states that it is very difficult to fix it , especially in older versions of the OS such as Jelly Bean, while in newer versions the problem is self-fixed, as WebView has been removed from the main OS and turned into an app that can be downloaded from Google Play.

This problem is estimated to affect about 60% of Android users while Google states that anyone who wants to make a patch to fix this problem can do so, just that Google itself does not intend to do anything to correct it .

News of this problem has emerged shortly after Google itself had identified one in 8.1, before Microsoft can do anything about it.
