A custom recovery is a must for everyone who wants to escape from the stock Android experience (OxygenOS) that comes on every OnePlus 6 phone. The OnePlus 6 is one of the most popular smartphones that the company has ever created. It has all the latest specifications that you can expect from a flagship phone.
If you have bought a brand new OnePlus 6 and want to change the experience by installing a new custom ROM or something similar, then you need to have a custom recovery such as TWRP. TWRP is the most popular custom recovery for Android phones. It is easy to install and has a lot of features which makes it attractive to many users.
