Android was released by Google more than 10 years ago from today and since then, Android has been the most popular operating system which has been used by billions of people around the world. Also, Android is also the most developer-friendly operating system as it is an open-source OS due to it being based on Linux which is an open-source technology. Now, we have seen that many Android users around the world have been getting root access on their smartphones and this is sometimes gained as soon as they get the devices in their hands.
Now, the main reason to gain root access for many is to gain the ability to delete or uninstall the unwanted apps which are also known as bloatware. Apart from that, we can also get system-level access to different hidden directories after achieving root access. Other than that, we can unlock some features that have been locked with the help of root access. We can also install Custom ROMs on our smartphones with the help of root access. Thus, if you want to get all or any of the advantages above then you would want to get root access on your smartphone.
However, we have seen that gaining root access on smartphones is a bit complicated so we are going to tell you about one application named as dr.fone which can let you gain root access on any smartphone with just a few simple steps.
