What is Magisk?

Magisk is well known as a “systemless” root method. It’s basically a way to customize the Android system on your phone without really customizing it. It lets you add different modules on your device, and the root is just one of the many modules you can install on your device. It is developed on the phh superuser which is an open-source rooting option. You can highly increase the practicability of your device use it to its full potential. Rather than just being a simple rooting app, it also lets some of your applications hide from the root and enables you to add newer features and traits to your Android device by making the use of different modules.

What is Magisk Manager?

Magisk is the reigning champ of the rooting applications and is preferred over its predecessor, the SuperSU. As its name suggests, the Magisk Manager is indeed used to manage and configure the Magisk app itself. The Magisk Manager enables you to install new system updates on your phone, delete existing modules, or download new ones. With the Manager app, you can hide the root to bypass the Google SafetyNet check which allows you to keep using your applications even if Google wants to block them, download modules which allow for easy customization and tweaking, and you have the ability to give or take the permissions of any application with the help of MagiskSU.
