There are two unique versions of the KingRoot app available and we do not know what the team out of China will decide to do in the future. The current and latest version gives you only one app from the app drawer and you can see an “uninstall’ option from the inside. That’s the button to tap when you want to unroot your device. The older version, however, is a bit different and comes with three unique apps available from your app draw. Along with the KingRoot app, you will see the KingMaster to tweak the performance and the KingUser to unroot the device.
