In a rare move, Apple released the iOS 13.1 beta this week before iOS 13 has left beta status and been made available to the public. If you’re ready to get off the beta, follow along below for a couple of ways to get back on the public iOS releases.
Typically, when the public version of Apple’s newest iOS release is available in September, iPhones and iPads will display a notification to update from the beta to the general release. With Apple rolling out the iOS 13.1 beta before iOS 13 leaves beta this year, it will be easy to remain on the in-development software going forward instead of hopping off the beta train.
Below we’ll look at two ways to downgrade from the iOS 13 beta, the first option will put you back on the next available public release. The second option will immediately downgrade you from the beta.
Keep in mind that you’ll remain on the beta until the next public iOS release hits. That could be the iOS 13 public release if another iOS 12 update doesn’t arrive in the next couple weeks before then.
Here’s how the process looks:
If you want to immediately downgrade from the iOS 13.1 public or developer beta, you’ll need to restore your iPhone or iPad. Keep in mind you won’t be able to restore from a backup done on iOS 13 if you revert to iOS 12. You could restore from a previous iOS 12 backup but if you’ve been running the beta since June that may not be very helpful.
Step 1: Make sure you’re running the (open the Mac App Store > Updates to check).
Step 2: to your Mac or PC with a Lightning or USB-C cable.
Step 3: Use the appropriate method from the list below for your device to (you’ll see the iTunes logo and Lightning cable when successful).
Step 4: When the Restore/Update option shows up on your Mac or PC, choose (this will wipe your device and install the latest non-beta version of iOS).
Step 5: After the software restore has completed, you can restore a backup from iOS 12 with iTunes or iCloud or set up your iPhone or iPad as a new device.
