Instagram-Links in native WebView on Marshmallow

Question

Recently I noticed a really strange bug that appears, when you try to call https://www.instragram.com/ in a webview when your smartphone runs Android 6 Marshmallow.

The problem is, that the screen remains blank all the time, just with that little instagram-icon in the middle - kind of a loading screen it seems. It looks like this:

This also happens when you view Instagram pages in your browser without having JavaScript enabled - it seems like the page does not load without JavaScript. The strange thing is, that I did the following setttings in my webview:

 WV_Downloader.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
 WV_Downloader.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
 WV_Downloader.getSettings().setBlockNetworkImage(false);
 WV_Downloader.getSettings().setLoadsImagesAutomatically(true);

On later Android versions it works perfectly, why doesn't it work on Android 6? There are no error-logs, just some normal chromium-outputs that (I think) wouldn't cause a behaviour like this:

I/chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(0)] "Unrecognized Content-Security-Policy directive 'worker-src'."
I/chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(16)] "The key "viewport-fit" is not recognized and ignored."
I/chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(1)] "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'entry_data' of undefined"
W/chromium: [WARNING:keycode_converter.cc(91)] empty code string
I/chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(0)] "The source list for Content Security Policy directive 'script-src' contains an invalid source: ''report-sample''. It will be ignored."
I/chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(0)] "The source list for Content Security Policy directive 'script-src' contains an invalid source: ''strict-dynamic''. It will be ignored."
I/chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(0)] "Unrecognized Content-Security-Policy directive 'worker-src'.

I couldn't find an explanation for this behaviour on the internet. Can someone explain me, what could be the reason for this? Thanks in advance!

You need to update webview package on your Android system.
