It is the base that allows you to “play” with the Recovery mode that Android phones have and that allows, from recover the mobile in case there is a problem, to install specific ROMS for each model.

The developer community is the one that benefits from this tool that now is updated to version 3.50. An update that on the one hand adds support to make it functional on more phones (up to 16 new devices) and in addition to having improved support for Android 10 and improvements and corrections for models that still use Android 9.

But starting with the devices that are now supported, TWRP in version 3.5.0 adds support to be used in 16 more devicesincluding the Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL or the Galaxy Note 10 range with Exynos.

With this version of TWRP, Support for models with Android 10 is extended. In this way, the tool has two branches (the two versions of the operating system) waiting for its use in models that have Android 11, a possibility that they are already working on.
