Security risks of root access
What is root access?
Root access means gaining administrative privileges on a device. While this allows deep customisation of the device, it bypasses the standard Android security model and puts the entire system at risk.
How does enabling root access put my device at risk?
Enabling root access puts the whole device and operating system at risk. It allows applications to operate outside their normal permissions, which can compromise the data of all applications on the device. For security reasons, Revolut applications cannot trust devices with granted root access.
How can I disable root access?
The procedure to remove root access and restore a device's original security requires advanced knowledge and support from the device manufacturer.
If you're not sure how to safely perform this procedure, contact the device manufacturer’s official support team for professional assistance.
