This fixed it for me.  Thank you!!!

Note - didn't work when I tried to update from settings, but I went into Play Store  update was waiting there even though I had clicked update in settings menu & it appeared to update then.  Updating from the Play Store fixed it for me.

The issue with apps crashing has been confirmed to be able to be corrected by uninstalling updates to the Android System WebView feature. If you do not have the option to uninstall updates on Android System WebView, please try uninstalling the app from the Play Store using the following link.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview

Please let me know if you have no options to uninstall. We have seen cases of needing to uninstall updates to Google Chrome on devices as well as Chrome received an update on the same day. If you continue to experience issues, please send your model and serial numbers to this PM Link. http://bit.ly/2ihPL97
