I stupidly installed the beta version which has changed a very important alert on my iphone. I wanted to go back to ios 16. I don’t have a computer only an ipad and iphone
The instructions given on Apple’s webpage about how to do this are not available on my iphone
what part is not available?
Have been in contact with Apple and been told its because they are still being looked at and sorted out.
Who told you this? What is being sorted out? iOS 17 is out of beta. There won’t really be a way to return to iOS 16 anymore. You can install the public release of iOS 17 now. It’s out and available, and will be offered from Settings ➡️ General ➡️ Software Update unless you already have the same or newer Beta version.
So why have them on their webpage as an option?
Have what? Betas are always an option. Instructions to remove them, also always an option. You should not be installing betas unless you are prepared to deal with them and the issues they carry.
I'm reluctant to reset my iphone as I’m not sure if when I restore it from backup it will be from ios17
Backups don’t include the iOS version. Restoring a backup will not return you the iOS version used to make it. You will however need to be running the version used to make it, or a newer one to be able to restore the backup.
i’ve been told all i can do is wait for the install of non beta ios 17. Apple can’t even give me a date
iOS 17 is out already. The next update would be a security patch or fix and is not known when it will happen. They are released when they are required, so Apple has no way of knowing when that will be, so no possible way for anyone to give you a hard date for it.
its really disappointing and not what i would have expected from Apple
What would you expect then? You made the decision to install the beta, as you yourself admit: “stupidly” and somehow it’s Apple’s fault for not providing a magical one step instant rollback solution?
