Hi, how do I delete iOS 17.1.1 and revert back to ios16?
I updated not thinking and this update is absolute trash. Stuffed everything up and my phone is all janky now. I know I’m not the only one as I don’t think I’ve seen or heard of any good feedback in regards to this update. The update changed all the interfaces on calls and texting etc and is just overall the worst.
I want to revert just can’t figure out how to do it.
please help!!!

I absolutely agree with you this update is trash, I hate the way my Contacts looks now is horrible and regarding other people that had replied to this some are WRONG cause when you go and check what the update was about it only mentions certain security concerns about the Contacts app, but they never mentioned ANYTHING about changing they way that each contact sheet looks. What I decided to do is to schedule a call from an Apple customer service representative later today and will request to go back to my prior IOS version, so after that call happens, I will come back here and update this post to see if I can help someone with the same issue.

That means that there is something wrong with the camera. You should contact Apple and have them run diagnostics.

Doesn’t Apple support see these complaints?
No, Apple does not read here for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

You can’t delete iOS 17.1.2 and go back - which you would have known if you had read the thread.
The “solution” is to live with it.

So I installed the 17.1.2 last night, which is the update Apple released to fix the bugs from 17.1.1. While my contacts still look funky, some of the other issues seem to be fixed. Make sure you install it when you get a chance. Definitely helps! But I sure wish I could go to the previous version.

You can't. Once you upgrade from one production version of iOS to another, you can't go back. The most you can hope for is that Apple will change some things again, going forwards.

I haven’t got a back up, it even overrides that and I don’t have another PC to try and change back, it cost me everything I had stored, there’s nothing in my iCloud and it’s not excepting any of my I’d passcodes or passwords? It keeps saying there failed? Mind you I have them written down in front of me, so I don’t forget! Can anyone please help me in a situation like this? I don’t like this 17 version at all

You can't.
Apple designed iPhone updates to work in one direction: forward only. So you can't delete it by downgrading – and you can't delete it by upgrading to something newer (as there is nothing newer yet). You've got to live with the new update, for better or worse.
