Jul 10, 2016 5:59 PM in response to qveenby theratter,The email you received from Apple spells out what you must do. iOS 10 is Beta software. Discussion of such is forbidden in these forums.

Jul 11, 2016 8:43 AM in response to qveenby FoxFifth,See the following from https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/faq
Always back up your iOS device before installing beta software. To get a shipping release of iOS on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can simply install the final version of the software you are testing when it appears in Software Update. If you would like to go back to a previously released version, you must first erase the beta software, then re-install the latest shipping version of iOS, and finally restore from your previously saved iTunes backup.

Jul 12, 2016 9:27 AM in response to qveenby santovargas,I'm using it right and it works fine, I don't say perfectly, but I think that's because it's a beta and it has some small lags some times.

Jul 12, 2016 10:11 AM in response to qveenby elcpu,If your question is "how do I return to iOS 9.3.2 from iOS 10 Beta" follow FoxFifth's advice. According to the manager of this forum (in the lounge) we can indeed help users return to a currently released version of iOS. The Announcement on top explains how.

Jul 20, 2016 9:13 AM in response to FoxFifthby moxpox,What if some users wanted to give iOS10 a try for fun and did not back up to iTunes because they despise the software. Is it possible to completely wipe the phone and reset to ios 9? I tried a factory reset but (as I'm sure you are aware) it just reset the phone to iOS 10. Is there any way to go back to 9 now or am I stuck?

Jul 20, 2016 9:16 AM in response to santovargasby Csound1,It's unfinished, you are a test subject. Problems are to be expected.

Jul 20, 2016 9:25 AM in response to Csound1by moxpox,There is no forum on the Beta site so how would I discuss it there? Can someone respond with a human answer?

Jul 20, 2016 9:28 AM in response to moxpoxby Csound1,The instructions on how to go back have already been posted in this thread, what else do you want to know?

Jul 20, 2016 9:34 AM in response to Csound1by moxpox,I was hoping a guru would shed some light on how to do it without installing iTunes. Sorry to blaspheme about an Apple product in an Apple support forum.

Jul 20, 2016 9:37 AM in response to moxpoxby Csound1,Why did you elect to be a Beta Tester and then not read the advice Apple provided.

Jul 20, 2016 9:46 AM in response to moxpoxby Phil0124,iTunes is required to restore the iPhone. This is made abundantly clear in the Beta FAQ:
What is the Apple Beta Software Program?
The Apple Beta Software Program lets users try out pre-release software. The feedback you provide on quality and usability helps us identify issues, fix them, and make Apple software even better. Please note that since the public beta software has not yet been commercially released by Apple, it may contain errors or inaccuracies and may not function as well as commercially released software. Be sure to back up your Mac using Time Machine and your iOS device with iTunes before installing beta software. Install only on non-production devices that are not business critical. We strongly recommend installing on a secondary system or device, or on a secondary partition on your Mac.
If you failed to do that, you can still return to a regular release version of iOS, but you will not have your data. Your device will be clean.
If you were at least backing up to iCloud, you can restore that backup, after you've returned to a release version of iOS.
Instead of getting annoyed at the answers, you should try to read the information about Betas before going wildly to install them so you know exactly what you're getting into, and how to get back.
