Try a Forced Restart and see if that helps, because you CANNOT go backwards in iOS. Downgrading has never been supported. I can tell you iOS 18.3 made absolutely no changes to my iPhone whatsoever in any of the areas you say it did for your phone.


Here is how to Force Restart (something I do after EVERY iOS update anyway) --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support (CA)

Yeah, my screen on time has also decreased a lot. I have just recently switched to an iphone from android. And to be honest, the hype is not worth it. I have recorded videos as proof of glitches, bugs, and crashes on facebook, instagram, whatsapp, and twitter. And now this ringer volume glitch. Oh god, wasn't expecting this ****** user experience after switching, and that too all within 4 months.
