Is there any way to downgrade from version iOS 18?
Is there any way to downgrade from this horrible version 18? Well any way other than bricking my phone and starting from scratch.

I am truly disappointed in Apple, I have the iPhone 14pro for over a year now. Since I installed the new IOS18 on my phone, my phone keeps lagging is slower than before and affects my battery life. Additionally, my phone overheats...
Go to Settings>Battery>Battery Health. What is the Maximum Capacity? If it's less than 80%, you need a new battery.
This is the worst update ever, the controls center,
You can use the Control Center in the same way as before. You don't need to customize it if you don't want to.
camera roll got super complicated I do not have a clear overview anymore.
Yes, the new version of Photos is different and does take a little while to get used to. But, if you take the time to learn how to use it, you may find it's not so bad.
Why creating an IOS update if it makes the life of apple user more complicated??!
So Apple should never add new features or make changes? Change almost always requires that we learn some new things but, if you remain open to learning new things you might 1) find out you like them and 2) help keep your brain young.
An update should be there to make everything more efficient and easier... truly disappointed. As everyone else here I am sharing the same struggles and wish there was a way to get back to IOS17!!!
It's a lot easier to learn new things if you stop being so angry about it. And no, not everyone wants to go back to iOS 18.
I wanna downgrade from this disastrous 18 version, my phone is just so complicated to use!
You can't. So, your choices are to learn how to to use iOs 18 or get a different brand of phone. That, of course, would involve a much larger learning curve.
I hope Apple sees this and takes action!
Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:
To make your feedback most effective, I suggest you stick to specific issues, not requests to be able to downgrade. That's highly unlikely to ever happen.

And it's amazing how many people believe they should be consulted for permission to add or change features! People just don't understand how operating systems work.

I am very happy with all of the new and improved features of iOS 18, ESPECIALLY Photos. You might be also, if you read the release notes that you must have missed when you went to the Update page→What’s new in iOS 18 - Apple Support
While I don’t have a need for the new mail features, it took me about 10 seconds to turn them off and go back to the way it used to work.

Did you tell Apple? They are the ones who can make changes:
No problems here!
I can't send text messages when it says RCS to an Android. Nor can i send pictures
Yep agree with masonb1. This is the worst update I’ve seen, same phone. I’ve already downloaded IOS 17 & going to try going back.

Good for you. Most people are very displeased. The photos ui downgrade is a disgrace.
Oh so there is NO way of going back to IOS17.x via iPhone
Backups?
Correct.
Me too. The update SUCKS

Far too many people will take you up on that.
