Since Android 5.0, Google has decoupled WebView from the main OS. This allows it to be updated via the Play Store independently, ensuring security patches reach users without waiting for a full system update. 2. Hidden Security Pitfalls
Because WebView handles external web content, it is a major attack vector for mobile security.
Developers often use addJavascriptInterface() to let the webpage communicate with the Android app. If not properly "sandboxed," this can allow a malicious website to execute native Java code on the user's device. 3. Native vs. WebView Performance
It extends Android's View class, meaning it behaves like any other UI element (like a button or text field) but renders HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
