My son accidentally updated my phone to the iOS 17 beta version hi receiver to downgrade my phone back to the 16.6 iOS I connected to the computer and when I had to pick them back up to put on my device it has my iPad back of my iPhone 13 back up and there was a iOS 17 made it back up but since I downgraded that was not eligible And I do not want that I’m on the 16.6 and my phone backed up one time after downgrading back to the regular iOS 16.6 the non-beta it’s been 40 days now and my phone has not been backed up every time I try is tell me I’m not on the newest version or it’s not compatible. I think this is due to the iOS 17 beta I don’t know what to do and I need to back up my phone my 12 year old not know he was doing anything wrong he thought he was helping I need help please .

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Ahhh. I see what you’re saying.

I don’t know that I would have referred to this as a ‘security breach’ as this brings to mind a widespread breach of a major service provider…


A compromised Apple ID is no joke.


But if you do want to joke, the parents’ Apple IDs are the keys to the local data kingdom, and to the royal treasury.


This is just a kid who managed to circumvent a parent’s security… probably because they gave the kid the necessary information.


The ”just a kid” tends to end badly. Unless you’re intending to challenge them.
