root your phone with magisk

WARNINGS BELOW:

• rooting your phone WILL erase all your data. backup all your important data (on your computer, not in the cloud) before following the guide below.
• rooting your phone MAY void your warranty. this is the case on Samsung and Motorola phones. if you plan on sending your phone back for repair, always unroot and relock your bootloader before sending it.
• this guide will not work on phones of the following brands: Huawei, OPPO, Nokia, vivo, LG, Tecno, Infinix, TCL. those brands made bootloader unlocking impossible on their devices. this is the same for phones bought via Verizon or T-Mobile (in the case of T-Mobile, it is impossible until the phone is paid off and your SIM is unlocked).

rooting an Android phone is the act of attaining the superuser/root privileges that are locked by the manufacturer. rooting allows support for Android theming, full control of the kernel, full control over the applications, access to more UNIX commands via adb, etc.

if you're skeptical about rooting your phone, remember that rooting is totally normal and should have been done from the beginning by manufacturers. imagine buying a computer with Linux and not being able to change the OS, nor even use sudo. yeah, that's dumb. well that's the same thing with phones. rooting your phone simply gives you the same amount of privileges as your computer. as long as you don't give suspicious apps rooting privileges, you are going to be ok.
