Well, many of us have joined the iOS public or developer beta program. It feels good to try out the newest features first right? We know that feel! But sometimes the experience spoils with a buggy update. Also as most of the updates add a new feature, it is quite normal they are not polished. As a result, either the device runs slow or there’s reports of app crashes or may be both. At that point of time, you can only wait for another new update to patch everything. No! That’s not the ‘only’ thing you can do. A better option is to return or downgrade to an official release of the OS which is more stable for daily usage. Here is how you can do it.

But wait, Before you start backup everything that you have got on your phone. Waiting for a few minutes and backing up will be better than losing any important data. Let’s continue when you finish backing up.

1. Go to Settings. Now Go to General and then to Profiles.
