It’s been quite a time from now, since the last version of the great Magisk arrived with added features. But that’s gonna change now as a new version is released with much improvements and certain under-the-hood tweaks. In fact, there are many changes that the latest Magisk beta 16.4 brings to the table, except the much awaited support for Galaxy S9/S9+.
Worth noting is the improved MagiskHide implementation. As you very well know, the MagiskHide potentially bypasses the Google’s SafetyNet. Though, Google SafetyNet check policy and Magisk have a long history of playing cat and mouse game, the latter was successful in keeping SafetyNet under control most of the times.
However, gone days are on which certain reputed app developers implemented there own Root-Detection methods that the Magisk failed to bypass until the emergance of previous Magisk 16.3. And, with this new release the developer, Topjohnwu has strengthened the MagiskHide feature such that the increasing amount of apps that run device verification / root detection in a separate service, which was under the radar of MagiskHide’s are now included as the target.
Apart from the improved MagiskHide, the Magisk 16.4 fixes certain issues with the Magisk on Android P. Along with the Magisk 16.4 the Magisk Manager has also been updated. The latest Magisk Manager carries the version number 5.7.0, perhaps, a considerable bump from the previous v5.6.4. The complete changelog of the latest Magisk as well as Magisk Manager is provided below.
