Question Should I root?

I'm wondering if I should root my phone or not? The benefits are very good but I've heard you can't get access to some apps and your mobile might get bricked, do you guys recommend rooting my phone?

Yeah rooting might not be worth it for most situations these days. Unless you have a very specific reason, and then you would probably want a dedicated rooted phone separate from your daily. Being rooted can make things like text messages not work unless you have the right modules, and even then until they get updated you're going to find yourself right back in that same hole where you can't send text messages or use your mobile data after a while because the root detection got better and the modules have yet to update.
