Can I remove iOS 17 and go back to the older version?

This iOS 17 update is horrible. I can’t get assistance for all the issues.. can’t search words in text messages, the shared links/pics in messenger won’t download from iCloud , I hit the caps button it won’t stay highlighted. It goes back to lower case, can’t get my curser to move and stay through a text/email. It jumps right back to the end of the message or wherever it chooses. The predictive words won’t appear in the text box when you tap it.. I mean the list goes on. Please help! This is past annoying.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17

No. Downgrading the iOS is not an option.
