Drawbacks of TWRP

While TWRP in itself does not have any drawbacks, however, the procedure to install it does have one major issue- it requires an unlocked bootloader. Unlocking the device will wipe off all the data and might nullify its warranty as well. Likewise, you might face some issues with regard to Play Integrity as well.
