I had installed the iOS 14 beta, and as a smart person I made a full encrypted backup of my iPhone to my Mac. I just tried to restore my iPhone to that backup as I no longer wish to use the beta but then it restored to the same iOS. It says they had to download the latest available software (iOS 13.6) and that the software should not be affected by the backup. Did it get messed up? Am I missing something? Please help.
iPhone XR, iOS 14
We (you) cannot discuss about beta software in this public forum, as per NDA we (you) accepted.
That said, the only support article we can offer you is this one:--> How to uninstall iOS beta software - Apple Support
For any further question, please contact Apple Beta Software Program.

Giulio
What happened to my backup?
