iOS 12 Downgrade: Using an old version

You can downgrade from version 12 of the iOS operating system to a previous version. This will completely reinstall the system and roll back all new features to a previous version. Downgrading is quite simple to perform, but requires a little preparation.

iOS 12 Downgrade: It's important to keep this in mind

Once you downgrade the current iOS version, you can no longer restore iOS 12 from a backup. For this reason, save all important data.

1. To back up your files, you can use your iCloud to transfer all important data.
2. Alternatively, you can use iTunes or special software to transfer individual files from your device to the computer.
3. Be aware that a downgrade completely uninstalls the operating system and reinstalls an old version. So all settings will be lost as well.

iOS 12 Downgrade: How to do it

1. First, connect the device to your computer via USB cable.
2. Now launch iTunes and click on the icon to your device.
3. Now hold down the [Shift] key and click on "Restore iPhone".
4. Now you need to select the firmware of iOS 11. Falls diese nicht vorhanden ist, laden Sie sie zunächst herunter.
5. Klicken Sie abschließend auf „Öffnen“, um das Downgrade zu starten.
6. Nach einigen Minuten ist der Vorgang abgeschlossen und Ihr Smartphone wird neu gestartet.
