There are a number of other tools like SuperSU, but they are not making use of the systemless root method. This is the unique reason why everyone loves Magisk. The main advantage of Magisk is that it does not modify the system partition, so your device will continue getting all the OTA updates and you can easily run any banking related apps without any issue by hiding root status.
What is Magisk?
Magisk is a simple flashable zip file that could let you easily root your Android device. There are multiple methods to root Android. Back in the day, people used to root Android using SuperSU, but the main problem with that was that it edited and modified the system partition directly. As the system partition is modified, Google’s SafetyNet process will fail. This is where Magisk comes into play. Magisk uses the “systemless” rooting method. In this process, the system partition is kept untouched. All the modifications are made to the boot partition only. This way, your device will pass the SafetyNet check even if it is rooted.

There are tons of advantages to using Magisk. You might have already got an idea regarding the biggest of all – systemless rooting.
- Does not alter system partition
- SafetyNet check pass even if rooted
- Continue receiving OTA updates
