How to downgrade from iOS 27 Beta to iOS 26
If you installed iOS 27 Beta or iPadOS 27 Beta through Apple’s Developer Program, you may decide you want to downgrade because of usability or stability issues. Keep reading to learn how it’s done. Apple’s beta versions of its major software updates can be buggy, especially the early releases. While that isn’t necessarily the case for the latest iOS 27 beta, you may still find apps not working properly, poor battery life, device crashes, and features that don’t do what they’re supposed to. Fortunately, you can restore your iPhone or iPad to the previous version of iOS.
If you made an archived backup before you installed the iOS 27 beta, you can remove the beta and restore the backup. If you don’t have an archived backup that was created before installing the beta, you can still downgrade, but you’ll need to set up your device as new or restore from an older compatible backup. Only an archived backup made before installing the beta can be restored after downgrading.
Also, bear in mind that if you’ve installed watchOS 27 beta on your Apple Watch, you won’t be able to use it with your iPhone once you’ve gone back to iOS 26. And downgrading an Apple Watch to a previous version of watchOS can’t be done manually – if you want to remove watchOS 27 beta, you’ll have to send your watch in to Apple.
