Hello. I have an important app that isn't working correctly on ios 16.2. I need to revert back to 15.x for the app to be compatible. Is there a way to do this?
I do not see ipsw for my particular ipad on the ipsw.me website. It is ipad pro 12.9 4th generation.
Is there a safe way to do this without losing data?
Thanks,
Dawn
iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
Rolling-back to an earlier version of iOS/iPadOS is not possible.
All System Updates are digitally signed by Apple - and can only be installed whilst the digital signatures remain valid. After release of a new iOS/iPadOS version, the immediately preceding version continues to be digitally signed by Apple - however, usually within a few days, Apple will revoke the digital certificate with which the earlier version is signed.
If Apps no longer work properly following update to a more recent version of the OS, you’ll need to seek assistance from the related App Developer - as only they can resolve issues with their App.

Perhaps consider that iOS/iPadOS updates include both functional and essential security updates. Restoring an earlier version of the OS would undermine the security of your device and your personal data.

No, downgrading any iOS version is not possible.
Thank you for the answers. The app developer is aware and they say it is a change made by Apple that degrades the sound and is out of their control. They have made Apple aware and are working with them to get the issue resolved. However, we have no time frame as to when it will be corrected.
Thanks again,
Dawn
Can I downgrade my ios from 16.2 to 15 on my ipad pro 12.9 4th generation?
