    Hi, TTN97.  

     

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  

     

    I see you no longer wish to participate in the iOS beta software program and are concerned with your data as there wasn't a backup prior to the enrollment.  I do have some good news!  Since iOS 9.2 is the most current version, you'll just need to go through the steps below. 

     

    Download the final version of iOS 

    If you have an iOS beta version and want to download the final version, follow these steps:

    1. Connect your device to iTunes.
    2. While your device is connected, force it to restart. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. Don't release when you see the Apple logo. Keep holding until you see the Recovery Mode screen.
    3. When asked, choose Update to download and install the latest nonbeta version of iOS.
      An update install won't affect your content or settings.

    Even though these steps will not affect your content and settings, it is always recommended to create a backup[ prior to any update.

    TTN97,  

    Thank you for the follow-up.  If you updated via the steps that I recommended and the final version on your device is iOS 9.2, you should be no longer receive Beta updates.  Your backup should also reflect this as well.
