To remove the iOS 18 beta and return to a stable iOS release, follow these steps:
Step 1: Back up your iPhone
- Before proceeding, ensure you back up your data. If your current backup is on a beta iOS, it might not be compatible with older iOS versions. Consider backing up important data separately from iPhone to computer using EaseUS MobiMover for free. With MobiMover, you cam safely backup your iPhone data to your computer and restore it whenever needed, which is particularly useful when changing iOS versions or replacing a device.
Step 2: Remove the iOS Beta Profile
- Open 'Settings' on your iPhone.
- Go to 'General' and then 'Profiles & Device Management'.
- Find the iOS Beta Software Profile.
- Tap on it, then choose 'Remove Profile'. Enter your passcode if prompted and confirm the removal.
Step 3: Restore to an official iOS release
- Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes (or Finder on macOS Catalina and later).
- Select your device when it appears on your screen.
- Enter your device into recovery mode. To do this, quickly press and release the Volume Up button, quickly press and release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the Side button until you see the recovery mode screen.
- In iTunes or Finder, you'll see options to restore or update; choose 'Restore'. This will download and install the latest official version of iOS that is no longer in beta.
Step 4: Set up your iPhone
- Once the restore is complete, you can set up your iPhone as a new device or restore from a backup made before installing the beta.
