If you have deleted the beta profile you have essentially quit the beta program, but you still have a beta version on your phone. You have 2 ways of dealing with it:


If you use the 2nd solution you will be able to sync any data that is already synced to iCloud, but you will not be able to restore a backup made with the beta version that you have been using, and you will have to reinstall all of your apps.

glad it's fixed for ya.

my 2 cents.. You should probably re-consider doing beta testing in the future if issues are making you mad. Beta software will always have bugs of some sort and that's what you signed up for. Apple even recommends that you do not install this on your primary device.

Now that you are no longer getting the pop up, you may want to consider deleting the beta profile and updating to the 14.2 public release when it comes out.

no problem, glad you have it worked out. The reason I made that comment is because we saw dozens upon dozens of people recently with the same issue you had. Prior to the recent beta update though, so they couldn't just update and fix the issue. Many were up in arms about the issue, most did not understand the beta profile vs the beta software, most did not follow the 1st step of enrollment where you archive a backup so they could get out of it without losing everything. So it's been fun lately with this issue and I may have made an assumption 😁
