Hello mikev10101,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Revering to an older iOS version is not supported. Let's see if this helps with your performance issues:


Look at your battery health
All rechargeable batteries are consumable components that become less effective as they chemically age. Over time, the rechargeable batteries in all iPhone models will diminish in their capacity and peak performance and will eventually need to be replaced. iOS can show show battery health and recommend if an iPhone battery needs to be replaced. Go to Settings > Battery and tap Battery Health. Battery Health is available only on iPhone.
Check your iPhone battery.

Let's also review the remaining steps here: About iOS or iPadOS performance on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? Which iPhone are you currently using? What exactly are you experencing? Is this happening with all apps? Also, when did you first notice this?


Cheers!
