Magisk has quickly become one of the most popular methods to root Android devices. Ever since developers released the first build in 2016, it has been the go-to choice for many users who want to root their devices. It is an alternative to the extremely popular SuperSU. However, Magisk has a few advantages over SuperSU which have made it so popular.
Firstly, it roots Android phones using a method named “systemless”. This means that it grants root access without changing any system files. This is convenient because it bypasses Google’s SafetyNet, which doesn’t let users use certain apps if there is root access. There are a few apps such as Snapchat and Pokemon GO that do not work or force close if they detect that the system is rooted. This occurs because they check whether those specific system files have been modified or not. With Magisk, you can use these apps because the files stay intact.
Besides root, Magisk gives users the ability to install various modules to enhance the experience, similar to Xposed Framework. There are plenty of modules that you can choose from. Developer “topjohnwu” has worked tirelessly to create a repo system which makes installing Magisk modules a lot easier. Furthermore, it allows other users and developers to create their own modules as well.
