-After the installation, the procedure will ask us if we want to **install the TWRP App**. You can answer yes, but it is not strictly required, the TWRP Recovery is a stand-alone program, it runs when requested without an underlying Android system and it does not require any App. The TWRP App may be used to install or upgrade the TWRP Recovery and to backup the existing Recovery, but it seems that the current version (1.19) is not able to handle the **A/B system updates** mechanism, it searches for the **recovery partition**, which **does not exist** in Xiaomi Mi A1 Oreo 8.1.0.
