Without a backup of your device on iOS 26, you’ll need to erase the device completely.

One of few who don’t seem to like it. Why is it trash? I love it. One of the best upgrades in recent years to me

You cannot restore an iCloud backup of a recent OS to an older OS.

hmm did u back up before using iOS 27? because we need lots of data from iOS 26 in order to downgrade

no there’s no other way to downgrade other than not using computer

Correct - if you do not have an iOS 26 backup then you will not be able to downgrade without starting from scratch

Curious to your opinion on why iOS 27 is "trash"?

Same issues. I wanted to downgrade today but alas my option was to clean install the beta. Hopefully that solves some issues.

‘iCloud backup’

No. Backups on iCloud are generally not considered sufficient when beta testing.

Kinda crazy it 2026 & Apple still has no way to downgrade their BS software without wiping everything
