Are Rooting APKs Safe to Use in 2021?

Well, the answer to this question is simple; rooting APKs from a trusted source is safe while the ones from questionable sources are unsafe.

One good thing about Android is the active community of developers and private/independent contributors. Unsafe rooting APKs hardly outlive one month before they are discovered and shamed by the hard-working Android developers.

In the past, malicious rooting APKs that were used to distribute adware, virus, and malware were quickly discovered and publicized for user’s safety.

There are lots of Android developers, independent app analyzers, and tech bloggers who are dedicated to discovering Android malware, vulnerability, and malicious apps. Their efforts so far have yielded the needed result.

All in all, it is advisable to use only Android rooting APKs from trusted sources. Read online reviews about new rooting APKs or opt for their PC software version to root your new phones or tablet devices.
