Sure thing, I can help!
Just a few questions, did you enroll your device in the Apple Bet Software Program previously or yesterday?
Then before installing the beta, did you back up your device?
Yes I enrolled in the program long before and Installed the beta today, I think I can downgrade to 18.5 beta but it’s not loading up on the software update
It showing like this
Ok thanks for the details, let’s follow this Apple Support Article https://beta.apple.com/restore#ios
Do you have a Mac?
Before installing did you backup your iPhone?
I don’t have a Mac I can use iTunes on windows
Yes I did back up
Great!
Is it a good idea to downgrade to 18.5 beta when it’s available on beta software update
I don't believe it will show in software updates, well have to follow this Apple Support Article: https://beta.apple.com/restore#ios
Connect your iOS device to your computer
Open the Finder on your Mac, or the Apple Devices app on Windows. Open iTunes on Windows without the Apple Devices app or macOS Mojave or earlier.
Okay because it was showing before installing the beta, 18.5 beta was available
Yes, I believe after installing the beta 18.5 no longer shows in software updates.
Yes I think the same, 18.5 was a stable update for me, I don’t really like the aesthetic of this 26
Theres some things I like, but there are areas its hard to read text.
Once you have iTunes on your PC, we can continue.
I think they’ll fix it I really liked the flat design overall
Sure thanks man I’ll update it
Its likely they could change things before the final release, as its beta they have a lot of time to fix and change!
Sure thing!
If I don't respond later, you can ping me.
The apple servers crashed yesterday and still haven't come back up lol
Lol I'm not surprised
If you’re already on iOS 26, you will not see any option to go back to iOS 18.5. You will need to restore using a computer.
F 😭😭
@sudden void Check up, how things going?
I’m keeping up with iOS 26, gradually liking the design&features
It’s been a month. Have there been any updates since then or is this resolved?
I think everything’s been resolved/decided
