Downgrade iOS / iPadOS 16.3 to iOS / iPadOS 16.2 [How to]

If you’ve recently updated your iPhone or iPad to iOS 16.3 and noticed that it is causing a few issues or slowing down your device, you may be tempted to downgrade it to the previous version of iOS, iOS 16.2. Downgrading your device is a relatively simple process and a good way of avoiding any further glitches and keeping your device running smoothly.

Before you downgrade your device, make sure that it is compatible with iOS 16.2. You can check this by going to Settings > General > About and checking the software version. If you don’t see iOS 16.2 listed, then your device isn’t compatible with it.

Once you have established that your device is compatible with iOS 16.2, you can begin the downgrade process. First, you need to back up your device. This is important as it will ensure that all your data is preserved before the downgrade process. You can back up your device using either iCloud or iTunes.

The next step is to download iOS 16.2. This can be done through the Software Update feature in the Settings app. Once you’ve downloaded the software, you will be prompted to enter your Apple ID to proceed with the installation. Make sure that you enter your correct Apple ID and password to access iOS 16.2.

Once you’ve successfully entered your Apple ID information and downloaded iOS 16.2, the installation process will begin. You will be asked to confirm that you want to install the software and then the installation will start. Allow the process to complete and then your device will be ready to use with the new version of iOS.

That’s all there is to it! If you have followed the steps outlined above, you have successfully downgraded your device from iOS 16.3 to iOS 16.2. Now your device should run smoother and without any issues.
