How do I downgrade from iOS 26?
How do I downgrade from iOS26? I accidentally updated my iPhone 16 pro max to iOS 26 after it did an automatic update

You cannot downgrade. Learn to use iOS 26 and learn to accept it.

To remove the iOS beta, follow the steps below:
- Connect your iPhone to a computer and open iTunes (or Finder on Mac).
- Put the device into recovery mode (Volume Up → Volume Down → hold Side button)
- Then choose Restore when prompted. This will erase the beta and install the latest official iOS version.
- After setup, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates and turn it off to avoid reinstalling the beta.
This method only works for downgrading from a beta version, not for downgrading between two official versions.
That’s because beta profiles can be removed and Apple still signs the latest public iOS, allowing you to restore to it.

Sometimes, life is like that.
The new update is a nightmare and most of us are stuck with it. The only solution is to buy a new one of all our devices that were on automatic update? This is monstrous!
