    Is this something to worry about? System app/user labelled "root"

    Just for reference - I've made absolutely no modifications to this phone. I hadn't used 3rd party app stores, clutter apps from the playstore, or anything like that at all. I didn't see that particular message - sorry. Thanks for the help. -thanksforreading

    Is this something to worry about? System app/user labelled "root"

    Nah it's unrelated to netguard - I was just using that to monitor the network (I only downloaded it a few days ago). There's never been any antivirus apps on here until after the fact. Alright - thanks a lot for the help. I appreciate it. I'm going to go elsewhere IRL and check it out in...

    Is this something to worry about? System app/user labelled "root"

    It's happened over bromite browser, brave, Reddit and discord - worth noting the people I had issues with were from those platforms. I've had it in safe mode, and not noticed it, but it seems to be sporadic now. It happened once today, and a couple times overall this week. Also, I haven't had...

    Is this something to worry about? System app/user labelled "root"

    Hey - none there at all. In either apps or the system ones. Would that be a good sign? Sorry for the late response.

    Is this something to worry about? System app/user labelled "root"

    Interesting. I'd turned it off for brave and all the apps on the device - those settings I mean. The "" was what I thought was weird especially. It doesn't just happen on brave for example, it's happened on several apps. In any case, thanks, and I'll go check it out with someone in person to...

    Thanks a lot, I appreciate you doing that. I posted some pictures below too about a screen overlay issue. Again, I've heard that's problematic often anyway but not sure.

    Is this something to worry about? System app/user labelled "root"

    Hey, sorry for the spam posts - not used to this forum setup. I attached a couple of images, I appreciate you guys checking if the root app is normal. When it comes to this overlay error, is that just a settings issue then? I found it weird that there was no named app when it did this. So I...

    Is this something to worry about? System app/user labelled "root"

    Posted earlier about checking if im rooted Hey, sorry. I made an account so I can discuss and post pictures too. BDiddy replied I think. I'm sure you're used to paranoid posts etc, and I understand that - but my network was genuinely accessed, and my laptop too. That's not a debate as such...

    Is this something to worry about? System app/user labelled "root"

    Hey, I've had my network and laptop hacked before (last year). I'd noticed my phone behaving weirdly but was unable to locate an app that I could link to that. I'm able to see the app/user "root" when I look through the app "NetGuard". I'm unable to see this in other places as far as I'm aware...
