I saw this article: How To Root And Disable Encryption On The Huawei Mate 9

First, I might just go ahead and root this phone to get access to the additional features but I haven't rooted a phone in a long time. Has anyone done it to their Mate 9?

Why does it say "disable encryption"? I thought it was decided that this phone is not encrypted. Can anyone clarify?

Thanks!
