any chance to restore phone settings to yesterday rather than a factory reset?

I want to restore my Iphone to yesterday's settings before I screwed it up looking at assistive functions


Can I do that or do I have to do a full factory reset?

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Assuming that you backed up yesterday before you changed your settings, you can restore that backup. That will not restore your device to factory settings.


This explains the procedure.

I want to emphasize that if you backed up after changing the settings, when you restore that backup, you will restore the messed up settings.
