About Android System WebView
Android System WebView is a system-level component from Google LLC that allows other installed applications to display web pages without opening a separate browser.

What the component actually does
Rather than appearing as a standalone app you open from the launcher, this component supplies the rendering layer that other applications call on when they need to show online content. Keeping it current helps those apps display pages through the same engine maintained by the developer, so updates arrive as part of the component rather than through each individual app.
