How to Downgrade iOS 12 to iOS 11.4 without Losing Data

[Summary]: Looking for a safe way to downgrade your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch from iOS 12 beta to iOS 11.4? This article will teach you two effective methods to downgrade iOS 12 to iOS 11.4/11.3/11.2/11 with iTunes or iOS system recovery. No data loss.

Recently, Apple released the latest iOS 12 public beta at the WWDC 2018 Developer Conference. I did a simple start-up experience with this newly released iOS 12 public beta. I found that this iOS 12 is different from the system that Apple released in the past. The new iOS 12 system’s optimization of the iPhone is beyond my understanding.

iOS 12 has been designed to make the iPhone and iPad faster, more responsive, and more pleasantly surprised. iOS gives you a comprehensive optimization and enhancement. Whether it is iPhone or iPad, it will be faster and more sensitive to use. A variety of everyday operations, such as opening the camera app and typing text on the keyboard, are faster than ever. In addition, when you work on multiple tasks at the same time on the device, the performance increase will be more significant. The performance of all applicable devices will benefit from these optimizations, even the iPhone 5s and iPad Air. Apple’s latest iOS 12 system is consistent with the devices supported by iOS 11, with support down to iPhone 5s and iPad mini 2. Specific support model as shown below:

ios 12 supported devices

Some Apple users have installed iOS 12 on iPhone, there will be bugs, but the first beta version of iOS 12 is quite stable as far as I can tell so far, and battery life isn’t taking any hits. While iOS 12 seems pretty safe to use on your main iPhone, you should know you can always dial things back if you want to. It’s easy to safely downgrade to iOS 11.4, which is the latest public iOS 11 release. That means you won’t lose any data even if you haven’t backed up your iPhone or iPad before jumping on iOS 12.

How to Backup Data before Downgrading iOS 12 to iOS 11

Before updating, you should back up all your data and settings. For the beta, Apple advises that you should back up to iTunes specifically (rather than to iCloud) and then archive the backup.

Hold the Ctrl key and click on the backup. Finally, select the option Archive.

Remember that you cannot restore an iOS 11 device from backup that was made when the device was on iOS 12 beta.
