Trying to remove iOS 18 beta but its not in the vpn and device management settings

I cannot find it in the VPN and Device Management section in General settings. iCloud doesn’t have any of my older backups so I can’t reset my phone back to iOS 17. Any tips?

thanks in advance

iPhone 13, iOS 18

After iOS 16.4, beta updates don’t appear in VPN and Device Management.


The only way right now is to factory reset your device and restore from a back up from iOS 17 not 18


If you don’t have a back up of iOS 17, then try to save important photos, files, contacts to iCloud or Google Drive if you don’t have enough space.
