How to downgrade from iOS 17.11 to 16?

Hi, how do I delete iOS 17.1.1 and revert back to ios16?


I updated not thinking and this update is absolute trash. Stuffed everything up and my phone is all janky now. I know I’m not the only one as I don’t think I’ve seen or heard of any good feedback in regards to this update. The update changed all the interfaces on calls and texting etc and is just overall the worst.


I want to revert just can’t figure out how to do it.


please help!!!

I WANT TO DELETE THE NEW UPDATE SO BAD “iPhone may be too close” STFUUUU HOW CAN I DELETE IT ITS TRASH


You can't.


Apple designed iPhone updates to work in one direction: forward only. So you can't delete it by downgrading – and you can't delete it by upgrading to something newer (as there is nothing newer yet). You've got to live with the new update, for better or worse.
