Actually, Xtriage says not:

The results of the L-test indicate that the intensity statistics
behave as expected. No twinning is suspected.
The symmetry of the lattice and intensity however suggests that the
input space group is too low. See the relevant sections of the log
file for more details on your choice of space groups.

Twinned refinement can be deceptive because it often lowers the
R-factors even if twinning isn't present - Garib Murshudov warns about
this in his talks on the subject.
