Shizuku has emerged as a game-changer in recent years because it allows modding on Android without root privileges. It’s a great option for Android enthusiasts who wish to tweak and modify their phone to enhance its functionality. Shizuku uses Android’s system-level APIs to gain near-root permissions and grants the resulting access to supported apps. We have prepared a listicle of around 80 of the best Shizuku apps that can transform your Android experience.
Before you can use the apps listed below, you must set up Shizuku on your Android device. Install the latest Shizuku from the Google Play Store and configure the app on your devices in 3 ways:
- Via the Wireless Debugging feature in the Developer options
- Using an ADB command on a connected computer
- On rooted Android devices via a Terminal emulator app
