Can you downgrade from iOS 17 beta 3 to the 16.5?

I’m wondering if there’s anyway to downgrade my iOS version from iOS 17 beta 3 to the previous version of iOS 16.5, and is there anyway to still keep the files, DuckDuckGo, bookmarks, contact information and photos I have gotten since the upgrade?

I also have two more questions, the first thing that if I am on a beta update, will I still be able to receive the rapid security response updates like the one that was just released with iOS 16.5.1?

Last question is if I were to set up my iPhone as a new device, and were able to choose backups, and choose an older back up, will I be able to use the newest backup if I decide to later on? Thanks and advance.



iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

We can't discuss Beta on this forum, so our ability to help is very limited. We are allowed to post the procedure to remove the Beta from your phone, but that's it.
