NO JAILBREAK I need to downgrade to 14.1 so my glucose monitor will work

First let me be clear...I HAVE NO DESIRE TO JAILBREAK here or anything like that.

I’m a diabetic And I use the Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor with my iphone XR to help monitor and take care of my diabetes.

Dexcom corporate tries desperately to keep up with Apple’s frequent ios updates as well as may be. I rely on the Dexcom G6 app for my health and in some cases even my life. Although it would be wonderful if you could coordinate with the various CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) Systems and Manufacturers I don’t expect that those of us who use them represent a large enough population of iPhone users for you to bother. Please if anybody can help I need to downgrade from 14.4 to 14.1 as soon as possible. But I do not own a computer I only have a seventh generation iPad and this iPhone.

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Hi Woundrn,

It sounds like you need some help with an iOS update and we can help.

While you're not able to downgrade iOS, we can help you set up your iPhone so that it won't update until you give permission to update.

Take these steps to turn off automatic updates:

"With iOS 12 or later, or iPadOS, you can have your device update automatically overnight while it's charging. To turn on automatic updates, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Customize Automatic Updates, then turn on Install iOS Updates. Your device will automatically update to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. Some updates might need to be installed manually.

With iOS 13.6, or iPadOS, you can choose not to download software updates automatically. Go to Settings > General > Software Update > Customize Automatic Updates, then turn off Download iOS updates."

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

In the future, you can check with the developer to see if they're ready to support an update before updating yourself.

Please be advised that while updates can be frequent, a public beta program exists to allow everyone to be able to test major updates for weeks or sometimes months before the software is available. For further guidance on how to update with respect to a critical app, please contact the developer.

Good luck.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
