Water under the bridge, but Apple always advises that beta software be installed on a separate phone that you do not need for everyday use.


Which beta software do you have? If it is iOS 17, you must already be a registered developer, since the public beta has not yet been released. The developer site has instructions for uninstalling the beta.


If you are in the 16.x beta program, you already have instructions on how to uninstall the beta, which would be highly recommended.


If you have a backup of the iPhone running 16.5, you can use that to restore the phone once the beta has been removed.


Unfortunately, we are not allowed to discuss specific beta details on this site, as you acknowledged when you signed up for the beta.
