How do I revert to a previous iOS version from iOS 26 without losing data?

I want to get back my old update, but I don't know how. Also, will my data be deleted?

If you had a backup on previous public software which was not overridden, or an archive of a backup on your computer, then you should be able to safely restore your data. To downgrade to previous public software, you'll need to connect your iPhone to a computer and put it into Recovery Mode then Restore, that will re-install the public software.
