  • which totally invalidates all of your phone’s security measures and leaves you completely unprotected.

    This is bullshit. If that was true, Linux would be the most unsecure OS in the world, since it’s users always have access to sudo.

    On Android phones with root, you have a root access manager, which controls root for all apps. Any app that would like to use root access has to go through your root manager to request it, which asks the user if they’d like to grant access. Usually, the Magisk app handles this, but in the past other root apps like SuperSU used to be used.

    If you don’t grant access to root, the apps on your phone have only as much access as on an unrooted phone. Root doesn’t make your phone less secure, apart from physical attacks due to the unlocked bootloader.
