Now Apple Music also declares war on root? Luckily there is a solution

Hard life for those who want to have full control of their Android phone: after Google’s announcement that RCS messages will be blocked in its Messages app, even Apple Music it doesn’t seem to get along well with root.

But what is happening? For those who don’t know, the root it is an operation that allows you to obtain a privileged control on various subsystems of the device, and is not well received by app developers, who often complain about greater risks for the safety (if you want to know how it works and how to root, we recommend our dedicated article).

Only a few days ago the news of how Google has blocked the use of RCS messages from your app Messages on phones with root or even just bootloader unlocked to prevent the sender falsification and send fraudulent messages or communications, and now it appears that too Apple Music is applying a block.

Noticed on the latest beta of Apple’s music app, version 4.7were several users on Reddit in the subreddit AndroidRoot, And AssembleDebug on X confirmed the fact that in case of rooted phone Apple Music recognizes it and blocks immediately.

Thankfully, Apple didn’t use an advanced root detection technique like Google did, which checks for Play Integrity APIbut simply checks for the presence of the root file su in /system/bin/so it’s easier to bypass the block.

One of the most popular solutions is to use the tool MagiskHide, which prevents detection by Apple Music which will then launch normally, as confirmed by several users on Reddit.

Apple Music is just one of the apps that don’t work if they recognize the root, but for many users the ability to remove the bloatware, downloading Magisk modules to modify apps and apply various mods remains an essential prerogative.
