How is it better?
First of all, they are not the same thing, you can even use both.
Magisk is meant to install modules systemless, like Viper4Android, custom hostsfile (like an Adblock) even xposed and many other mods.
If you have other SU like Chainfire SuperSU or phh's Superuser, Magisk will use it. If theres no SU installed Magisk will install MagiskSU.
Magisk can also hide sistem mods from other apps, even SELinux permissive or SU, basically Magisk is like xposed but for other type of system mods and leave /system untouched, so it can be used with Google SafetyNet, Samsung KNOX or other security featured

I rooted my phone and now i can't use snapchat. The only way i saw is using xposed app, but it don't work on android 7.1 yet. Can someone help?
try flashing su hide.
Using Magisk with PHH superuser and Magisk Hide enabled allows Snapchat to work perfectly fine.
I've tried suhide but only got bootloops, so I can only guarantee the Magisk method works.
You can login to Snapchat before you root and then root it. That way Snapchat doesn't do a safetynet check.

Thaanks, it worked perfectly
I am bit of confused why is phh superuser is needed when you already got magisk and it's superuser n su files . Does merging phh superuser to magisk helps to support app more ..like titanium backup
Hello guys!
If you update to the latest Magisk version (v16.4), you will notice that it will now pass SafetyNet check.
Check attached screenshots!

I think it's just as good as SuperSU in handling root apps. The way Magisk stands out though is the modules. I would recommend that you install only the magisk manager (it does not mess with anything in your phone if you just install it), and browse through the list of modules it has. It's very similar to the way modules in xposed look like. Maybe you can find some interesting functionality in there.
I am using the greenify module (works much like boost mode on xposed), busybox, adblocker, systemiser (turns user apps in sys apps), debloater (completely uninstall user apps). There's a ton of mods though, I don't even understand what most actually do.
Keep in mind that having xposed installed will break safetynet no matter what. Magisk can't hide it.

Edit: i moved this issue to the Q&A and help section since more issues keep coming
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/finally-decided-to-switch-supersu-to-t3787201
just switched to latest stock rom (1.2.0 B10) and installed magisk (16.4). it works and safetynet passes. the problem i got now is that the greenify module fails to install in magisk (see screenshot)
do i gotta flash the module through TWRP maybe? still a newbie to magisk since the axon 7 is the first phone to have it working
EDIT: for some reason magisk doesn't remember which apps have requested root after a reboot. everytime i reboot i get a prompt to allow root access to all my root apps (like greenify). idk why this is happening. i mean, root itself is working as it should. i already uninstalled bloatware and disabled/freezed things like the powermanagement
I'm interested in knowing where Magisk is at
I just installed the app and it shows that " Launching the app on rooted device is blocked". So I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it again and used magisk hide. Also, I have hide magisk manager already enabled in magisk settings but the app still doesn't budge and somehow still detects root and thus I can't use it. Any solutions ?
I'm on MIUI EU 11.0.6 rooted with magisk 20.4
seshStation 5.1 kernel
Official latest TWRP recovery.

Do you pass safetynet?
There's a magisk hide config module in magisk downloads if you don't.

Yes I'm passing safety net. Both the magisk manager and the check SafetyNet app confirm the same.

You could flash your original boot image and see if it's related with the kernel, just in case.

I was thinking the same. I'll reply with the results. Thanks
You could try renaming the magisk manager.
It worked for me with the McDonald's App.
You can find it in the settings from magisk manager. Give the app a random name like managerxy3 and use magisk hide option, just in case.
Maybe try core mode only, if you only need root and don't use any modules.

I already have that enabled (Hide magisk manager). It's in the OP. I only have busybox by osmosis installed in magisk modules.
I just installed Paytm First Games (Lite? ) and upon launching it asked to Login via OTP/Paytm. I didn't proceed any further. Magisk 20.4,crDroid 6.4.

Sorry about the delay. I flashed the original stock boot from MIUI EU but the app still detects root somehow.
Any Guesses ?

Yup the lite version on the play store works but not the full version downloadable from their official website
So is there any solution to this??
How the paytmfirstgame (full version) deteck root after renaming magisk , passing safetynet and hiding app from magisk manager. I think magisk is now not a bigshot
Still can't open Paytm First Games even after using Magisk Hide
Any solution?
Facing the same issue. Do we have any solution on how to make the paytmfirstgames app work on rooted device?
Has anyone updated their Magisk version after initial install?
I'm on Magisk 22, and version 22.1 is available. I don't have a burning need for 22.1 but have found from experience that it's best to not lag behind too much; eventually some or other module will require a recent version.
I'm guessing it's similar to initial install, but done from within the Magisk app using 'Recovery Mode'. First for me doing this, so figured I'd ask about pitfalls to avoid from folks who have already done this.
EDIT: To answer my own question (since I'm so impatient), yes. Just remember to rename Magisk-v22.1.apk to .zip before rebooting to save you some time after Magisk reboot takes you to TWRP.

This is indeed an important update so better do the update but prepare yourself to update more stuffs if you want to keep EdXposed and his modules working...
I didn't think about downloading Magisk-v22.1.apk and to rename to .zip before flashing it with TWRP so I had to update the Magisk manager before I could update Magisk itself.
After that you may or may not update the Riru and Riru edXposed modules as the edXposed was not working anymore for me . So I had to also update the edXposed manager.
And don't forget to reboot many times...
Finally you could also update the AFWall+ from the PlayStore... ^

All working well here with:
Magisk 22.1
Riru v25.3.3.r393.ed83041
Riru - EdXposed v0.5.2.2_4683-master
EdXposed Manager 4.6.2

This is not related with the Magisk update but can you tell what is actually your Tab S6 SafetyNet status ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have no idea. I've never looked in to what it even means; sonething that is needed for some apps, from what I've read?
What do want me to look for?
Arobase40 said:
Well, to be short the SafetyNet status indicates what you can potentially do with a rooted device such as creating Secure Folder, installing and use banking apps, probably use Netflix or some other apps or features you would be able to run with a non-rooted device.
So, to know your SafetyNet status you simply have to open your Magisk manager and tap the "Verify SafetyNet" option on the Magisk welcomm screen. Then it may ask or may not ask you the permission to download external modules,do so and then it will tell you if you pass this test or not !
If I ask you that it because some weeks ago I passed all the test with my Tab S6 and my 2 Galaxy Note 9 and now they all fail for some unknown reasons and as I changed nothing in the Magisk environment and the edXposed environment except updating some Samsung and Google apps ! ^^
So I want to try to understand how it comes and when it comes this SafetyNet compatibility was broken... ^^
If other users could also check their SafetyNet status and indicate if there was a change it may help.

I tapped 'Check SafetyNet' and got (see screenshot). Not interested in going any further. I hope you understand. fwiw, I too have an S6 with all Google and most Samsung apps either frozen or deleted; at last count 149 of them.
