How to remove root certificates on your device

Root Certificate

When we install root certificates on our device, we are authorizing them to be able to filter private information and put the security of our device at risk. Apple already confirmed the removal of root certificate-based ad blockers, like Been Choice, from the App Store, stating that they represent a potential risk to the privacy and security of the device. To delete any root certificate it is necessary to immerse yourself in the configuration of the device, below we will show you the steps to eliminate them.

Deleting a root certificate, many times it is combined with a VPN profile, is not that obvious, but it is easy once you know how.

      Carlos, that section only appears when you install an application that is not from the APP Store, the moment you download an APP from google or another site, that option appears, but it does not do you any harm if you do not have any APP installed other than from APP Store. Do not worry about anything, it only serves to be able to use the applications that need a special permission, in Android it is like accepting unknown applications.
