Android Webview not rendering the headers of SharePoint page
Workspace one Web Browser which is a secure enterprise browser app is built on Android System WebView, we have an Android WebView in which I am trying to load a SharePoint page. However, certain elements of the page are not being rendered or displayed correctly in the WebView.
The same SharePoint page renders correctly in a Chrome browser, where all the expected elements are visible.
Please refer to the attached image for comparison and reference.
In Chrome
In Android System Webview based Web Browser (for example Workspace ONE Web)
We mainly wanted to know why is this behaviour specific to Android System WebView based browser.

The screenshots show the SharePoint suite header in Chrome but missing inside Workspace ONE’s Android System WebView. That points to the host environment, not the SharePoint page. Microsoft’s current guidance says no Android browser is officially supported for Microsoft 365 for the web and recommends Microsoft 365 Android apps; a managed third-party WebView is therefore outside the documented support boundary. Update Android System WebView and Workspace ONE Web, then confirm JavaScript, DOM storage, cookies, redirects, and pop-ups are allowed by policy. Compare the WebView user agent and network trace with Chrome, especially failed authentication or static-resource requests. Reproduce with the same account in current Chrome and the SharePoint mobile app. If both remain correct, use one as the supported path and give the screenshots plus WebView logs to Workspace ONE support. Microsoft cannot guarantee the full SharePoint shell inside that embedded browser.
