How Can I Check If My Android Phone Is Rooted Or Not Using Manual Method
1. Open your app drawer by clicking on its icon.
2. Look for an app called Superuser or SuperSU. Either app will be installed during the rooting process; which one is on a rooted Andriod depends on the device. If either of these apps is on your device, it is rooted.
Superuser can temporarily block root access, while SuperSU has the ability to unroot a device and them remove itself. So if your device lacks any of this two apps, it means your Android phone is not rooted.
