Google Fix Further Advice Please

Following on from my previous post - I've seen conflicting views on what to do about the glitch. Samsung advised me to update Android system webview and Chrome ditto. I'm currently running the Android update (on my tablet) but it's already been well over an hour. Is this normal? And another article advises uninstalling the Android webview update app.
Which should I do? And if the latter, is it OK to stop the running update in mid-flow?

How bizarre. I've just seen this flash up on my Facebook homepage

"Samsung is experiencing a global (Not sure what should be in this space...) which is causing apps on phones to crash.
To fix this go to play store search for "Android System WebView Beta". Uninstall it from Play Store.
This will revert the app to an older version and will fix the app crashing issue."

Sorted. I got fed up after two hours of the update Pending, cancelled it and uninstalled the app. Had to redo the email, which involved a search for the password, but it's fine now. All very stressful, it's a pity I've already had my glass of wine for today!

I should have said thank you, Stephen_G. Without that confirmation I might not have risked uninstalling.
