Hello Team, how can I roll back to iOS 16 from iOS 17 developer beta? I am trying iOS 17 from one week, I thought some voiceover updates but are none. I went to Developer beta settings and I turn off the beta updates. But I am not getting any officials software update. Can you please let me know how can I roll back to iOS 16?

I would imagine that if you turned off the updates in the iOS 16.6 officially comes out it might pop up on your phone I don’t know
Worst case Narara plug it into your computer go onto recovery mode and reset the little bro back to iOS 16

I watched few YouTube videos and I observed that if we can turn off the beta updates in the settings, then we can directly get the next major update of iOS 16. Is it right? Or the only way to get a stable update is directly getting the iOS 17 stable version in September. Until I need to wait for the stable update and stay in the iOS 17 developer data?

I recently had the same issue come up and this is how I resolved it. If you can check your iCloud backups. Go to settings tap on your name, then select iCloud and look for the section that says iCloud back ups and make sure that you have a recent backup for your device. Once you’re sure that you have a recent backup, go into settings, general, reset at the bottom And you’re going to reset the device back to the factory default settings. I believe it is erase all data in settings. You will need to enter your device passcode if you have one and your Apple ID password. When the device returns back to the start screen, you will go through the set up process, and when it asks you to restore from iCloud back up that is what you will do!
I just did the same process on my iPad a few days ago and rolled it back and it works perfectly now.
I hope this helps you .

This is why you shouldn't beta test if you aren't willing to put up with the bugs. Beta testing you should be aware of the risks. Beta means it may have bugs.
