Gosh sorry for the late reply, I’ve been hot and cold with lemmy; its still a weird concept to me lol. The apps that I’ve found that require root are any of the system scanner apps like debloaters, tracker removers, app permission managers, and other things in that ballpark; basically security type apps I guess?
Some apps I’ve found that could be very useful with root are exodus, permission pilot, warden, app manager, and probably many others. Not sure if there’s a way to fully utilize the good features of these apps without root
