Earlier this month, our mobile app encountered issues due to a beta version of the Android System WebView. The problem, triggered by the July 2025 Google System Update, affected content display in portrait mode for some users, although landscape orientation functioned properly. Google addressed the issue swiftly, releasing version v139.0.7258.51 on July 23. Users experiencing the issue should uninstall and reinstall the component to resolve it, and opting out of the beta channel is recommended to prevent future bugs. Users not on the beta version were unaffected and need not take action.
