Apple launched iOS 14 with much fanfare, even without a live keynote. The new iOS 14 comes with a plethora of features like the new App Library, Widgets, and more. This meant that more people installed the iOS 14 developer beta than they normally do. However, no matter how many new features you get, you can’t hide from the fact that developer betas are unstable. And if you are having beta remorse, in this article, we are going to explain how you can downgrade from iOS 14 developer beta to iOS 13.
While you can install a developer beta by just installing the developer profile, removing the beta is not that easy. We will need to first delete the beta profile and then restore your device.
To remove developer beta profile from your iPhone, go to Settings -> General -> Profile.
For this step, you will require either a Windows machine running the latest version of iTunes or a Mac running the latest stable build of macOS. Once you have made sure that you have the latest version of macOS or iTunes, connect your iPhone (or iPad) using a cable.
Now, you will need to put your phone in recovery mode. Use the steps to force recovery mode on your device. Make sure to follow the steps that apply to your device:
Once everything is done, you will see the same “Hello screen” on your iPhone that you see when you turn on your iPhone for the first time. When setting it up, you can select the iCloud backup to restore the last iOS 13 backup that you created.
While the latest iOS version calls us like Sirens with all its shining features, I always say that you should at least wait for the public beta before installing it. Let us do the dirty work and tell you all about the new and hidden iOS 14 features, so you don’t have to suffer any pain.
