Is Rooting Your Phone Safe?

For some advanced mobile users, having more options and abilities can be quite beneficial. This is especially true of those who use Android devices, as there is a process called “rooting,” which provides users with privileged access to their devices. This allows them to overcome limitations placed on them by manufacturers, so they can customize their devices or remove unwanted applications that come preinstalled on device


 While rooting is popular amongst some advanced users, there are significant risks of rooting devices, especially in corporate environments. Beyond the fact that a device’s warranty will be voided or that the device may be “bricked,” meaning it no longer functions, there are also notable security risks involved.
