If you like to root your device then you must be aware of the Magisk tool and its developer John Wu. The developer has recently released a new update with a whole new user interface that looks interesting. The latest update comes with Android 11 support which means you can also root updated Pixel devices and new Android phones. Here you get to Download Magisk v21.0 and Magisk Manager v8.0.0 APK.
This is the largest update till now and you will find it more interesting and better performing than ever. The last update Magisk v20.4 was released back in March with some improvements. But this is a major update with a lot of changes in the user’s favor and it will make the installation even easier than before.
There is a Ramdisk option on the home page that will show the installation compatibility. If it says yes in Ramdisk then you can easily install the Magisk on your phone without any additional steps. But if it is set to No, then you have to go through some challenges but it is also manageable. You can also choose from various available themes from Settings. If you want to know other changes then you can follow the below changelogs.
