hey i want to root my phone but im hearing its not a good idea so does anyone know if its safe or not??? thanks

you want to reboot your phone?

>>2 No, root.

>>2 I suggest just doing your research, and decide what you're comfortable with.

ive done it multiple times and its completly safe. The thing that is NOT safe is trying to mod or hack apps once ur rooted cuz then the owners of the apps could easily make your phone useless and unfixable. i tried it with the playstore thats why haha

smash it with a hammer

>>1 This is a debatable question, as what 'rooting' essentially does is it gives you 'superuser' or 'administrator' permissions on your device. This means that you have full control over the device, so arguably, depending on what you do with it, you could even make it more secure than before it was rooted. However, in the other hand, if your phone is compromised somehow, any virus that has taken control of your user will have admin access to the device. As well as this, there are several apps that will refuse to run on your device should you choose to root it (unless you find a trick to hide your root). An example of this is commonly apps such as 'Google Pay'. They claim this is for security reasons. In terms of difficulty, rooting can be either very straightforward or technical depending on your device. Some devices are easier to root than others. In conclusion, rooting certainly allows you to do more with your phone, but you have to weigh this up in quite a lot of cases against the security threat if your phone is compromised. As well as this, it is worth noting that rooting in many cases will void your warranty, so check the warranty details on your device before you make a decision.

Its safe as long as you know the things you have to do, I've been rooting my phones since i discovered it back then, but i haven't encountered any problem whatsoever if you don't know how to root your device there are plenty of sites where you can find tutorials on how to root and what to do with the superuser permissions,it's honestly fun to tinker with phones.>>4 how would the makers of the app even know that you modded the app? unless the mod is not protected by a mask of some sort.don't even tell others that its not safe modding an app from the playstore because its fine,if you even managed to mess up with the app you can just install a new one,the thing you have to be worried about is the google playstore there's a modded playstore you can use you know but if you got a wrong playstore mod that's what you should look out for,downloading modded apps is always unsafe you just have to get it from trusted sites or you can just mod them yourself that's the safest bet you have.
