What's the difference between `useRef` and `createRef`?

Question

I was going through the hooks documentation when I stumbled upon useRef.

Looking at their example…

function TextInputWithFocusButton() {
  const inpu

Yet another but important addition to other's answers.

You can't set a new value for createRef. But you can for useRef.

const ur = useRef();
const cr = createRef();

ur.current = 10; // you can do it, and value is set
cr.current = 10; // you can, but it's no good, it will not change it
