Been mulling over whether or not to root my phone. This app https://www.kingoapp.com claims to do this easily. I reckon that by rooting I'll free up space, save battery and be able to eliminate ads.

Should I use this?
What are the risks for a non tech person like me?

If you do it, don't use an app would be my main advice. 90% of them will use that access to skim info or do other bad things for the phone. What phone is it? Default advice always used to be look on XDA, but its been a long time since I've bothered honestly

Thanks.
Phones a nexus 6p.
The Kingo 1 click root app seems to get great reviews and recommended the Geeks Hacking app
