If you are using an Android smartphone, then we are pretty sure that you might be aware of Android rooting.

Nowadays, Android rooting is becoming a trend that everyone wants to follow. It’s of no doubt that rooted Android smartphone brings lots of advantages, but it also has few drawbacks too! Rooting will void your device’s warranty and if anything goes while rooting, then your phone could end up getting bricked.
Hide Root Status From Apps That Don’t Support Rooted Android
Another thing is that on rooted Android smartphones, you can’t run apps that take security very serious like banking apps, media streaming apps, Snapchat, Pokemon Go, Android Pay, etc. These types of apps were never meant to run on rooted Android devices because of security reasons. In such scenarios, Android users can’t do anything, apart from unrooting their device.
