There are many reasons to root your Android device and you’ve likely heard the term “root” many times. Rooting unlocks access to hidden features on your Android device or running unofficial apps which are not listed in the Play Store. Those are two of the more common reasons to root your Android device but that is really just the tip of the iceberg.
Some interesting and useful things you can do with a rooted Android device include tweaking performance (and increasing battery life), uninstalling factory bloatware and apps which you don’t need, removing stock skins and re-skinning your Android device at a level otherwise not possible, and last but not least: Android data recovery.
Data loss is disastrous and can happen to anyone. You may only imagine it possible to recover files from your desktop computer with data recovery software but that is far from the truth and with a rooted Android device you can recover lost and deleted messages, pictures, songs, videos and much more directly from your Android device.
