As Apple has announced the new version of Ios, there are many people that try to download and install the beta software. For like to learn from the beta version of Ios and some install it only to check the new features. Unfortunately, the beta version of Ios is not always worked well for everyone. Some faces issue like battery drain problem, app crashes, iPhone slow down, and much more. Recently, I installed Ios 16 beta on my iPhone 11, but after 2 two days I start getting some issues like the iPhone battery draining quickly and banking apps not working. So I decided to downgrade the iOS 16 beta to iOS 15. If you also facing problems after installing the iOS 16 beta, then you can downgrade to Ios 15.

Why Should You Downgrade?
There are lots of things that come to check when you should downgrade from beta version to stable version. There is a reason why Apple has two different beta releases, the developer beta version, and the Public version. Developer beta version available first before the public beta become available. So that developers can find the bugs and issues and fix them for the next release. So it does not mean that you won’t come across bugs or issues. The second thing is app compatibility. There is always a chance that your favorite app won’t actually function properly. When I installed the iOS 16 beta version, my banking apps stopped working.
