Step 1: Download the Operating System (Optional)īefore you do anything else, I recommend downloading the firmware, also called the operating system or restore image, because it could take more than a few minutes depending on your download speeds. You can download the restore image manually for a failsafe downgrade or let your computer do the work in recovery mode.A new iOS or iPadOS 15 update won't trigger a downgrade. You cannot downgrade by removing the beta profile and waiting for the next stable iOS or iPadOS update unless you want to wait until the fall when iOS and iPadOS 16 are released to everyone.You can sync most of your data with iCloud before downgrading if you want to save new content.You also cannot use a backup of iOS or iPadOS 16 beta made on your computer when restoring to iOS or iPadOS 15.5. ![]() ![]() You cannot use an iCloud backup of iOS or iPadOS 16 beta when restoring to iOS or iPadOS 15.5.If you don't have an archived update, it still may be worth it as long as you're OK setting it up as a new device. Still, it's definitely worth it if you created an archived backup of iOS 15.5 or iPadOS 15.5 before you upgraded to the developer beta (the public beta hasn't come out yet) or still have an iOS or iPadOS 15 backup that hasn't been overwritten by the beta. Reverting your iPhone or iPad to the latest stable iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 update is relatively easy, but it's not the quickest thing. If that sounds like you with iOS 16 beta or iPadOS 16 beta, you can downgrade to iOS 15.5 or iPadOS 15.5 for a more stable user experience. But it can have unwanted consequences such as bugs, UI glitches, and horrible battery life that'll make you wish you never installed it. Beta software can be exciting because you get to experience cool new features before most other people.
