Chainfire released an experimental hack with a new app that allows users to hide the root status of their rooted Android devices on an app-by-app basis. The app also works with several other applications that currently require a non-rooted device for running. Google uses something called SafetyNet API to detect whether your Android device is rooted, and restricts access to certain features such as banking, payment and corporate security apps that work with financial and confidential data. If found any tampering, the API blocks access to that app, such as Android Pay.
