How to downgrade from iOS 11 Beta 1 to iOS 10.3.2 to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

Apple announced the expected version iOS 11 yesterday at WWDC 2017. This version iOS contains a large number of innovations, including a completely redesigned iOS App Store, redesigned Control Center, unified Notification Center, Smarter Siri and much more.

Yesterday the developers have already received the first beta version iOS 11. And as in many cases with beta versions of software, this version of the update is not particularly stable and contains a large number of bugs and errors. If you have upgraded to beta version iOS 11 and encountered a lot of problems, then there is an option for you to downgrade the firmware to iOS 10.3.2.

You should also consider the following important factors if you plan to downgrade the firmware on your device:

• If you are downgrading to version iOS 10.3.2, then you will not be able to use the backup made from iOS 11 to restore data through the service iCloud or iTunes application . It will be possible to restore data only from a backup copy iOS 10.3.2.  If there is no backup copy of this version, then you will have to manually save all your photos and other necessary information before downgrading.
• Make sure you are using the latest version of the iTunes app.
• Please note that the downgrade process involves completely deleting data from your mobile device and then restoring it from a compatible backup. The data recovery process takes time, the duration of which depends on the amount of data being recovered and on the speed of your Internet connection (if you are recovering data from a backup stored in a cloud service iCloud).
