Rooting android & banking apps - eviltoast

I always favored rooting my phone, used to have a redmi 4x with magisk and lineage os. It was time for a new phone, and got a xiaomi note 10S.

On the 4x I noticed that play store did not list revolut and other banking apps, and the bank Im using said I can’t use the app on rooted phone, so I decided not to root my 10S.

However I still think about unlocking and rooting it, but I’m afraid of my banking apps no longer working.

I still would like to use my phone like I did before: NFC payments (google pay), banking apps, play store for said apps, google maps.

Is it possible to create a setup like this? Should I even try?

    Depends on your banking app. In old Magisk versions you could hide Magisk for apps, but that is dropped since Magisk 24.0. I guess it depends on the banking app if they have a problem with rooted devices or not. The 2 I use don’t jabe issues with a rooted device. I don’t use NFC for payment so no clue if that’s an issue.

    Edit: It looks like they added MagiskHide again in 26.1 and added a DenyList feature. I need to dive into this.
