An XDA developer topjohnwu has just released Magisk 19 beta with tons of awesome features. The most exciting thing about Magisk v19 is the Android Q support. Now, you can root a device running on Android 10 with this latest build of Magisk. Though Android Q is still in very early stages and is only available for download for Google Pixel devices it’s a really important addition to the Magisk because one-day Android Q is going to be released and people would need a way to root it. You can download Magisk v19 from the link provided at the end of the post.
