The data being stored locally causes the storage to continually increase, and if you don't manually backup, you risk losing data. Even though the login security is super strong, they store personal information overseas. You can't register without a phone.

Pros

    Cons

    • Requires phone number
    • Data stored overseas
    • Increasing storage size
    • Risk of data loss without backup
