IOS 15 back to IOS 14

I want to go back to IOS 14. I can no longer “screen mirror” thru my Apple TV box. That’s one of the main reasons I bought this iPad. The update rearranged my app icon and reduced their size. This is very irritating!!!

So how can I reverse this update?

The response " it is not possible to reverse the update" is not acceptable, and does not solve the problem. It sounds like a 'blow-off'. I have never heard of not being able to reload a previous OS to solve a problem in a new release. Please revisit this problem and provide a workable answer.

There is no other answer. Workable or otherwise.


It is not possible to downgrade from iOS 15 to iOS 14. Apple offers no way to do this. You may not like the answer, but that is the truth and the reality of the situation.

Apple offers no way of dong this: correct

It is possible to downgrade from 15 to 14

Have I done it? : No but I am about to

Is it easy?: I do not know but I think it is not


I do not understand why apple insists to make life complicated for its customers. When iOS 15 has so man issues, they should step up and allow for this until iOS 15 is fixed. I have spent 5 - 6 hours to deal with iOS 15 problems but I am still in middle of nowhere

Beta versions (both developer and public) can be returned to an earlier non beta version if it's still available. The Public Beta is still a beta. Unless you have a Beta, you cannot downgrade. And even then at this time with iOS 15 already out, all you could do, is just go to a regular iOS 15 release. iOS 14 is no longer available.


Regular release versions cannot, and I doubt 9 to 5 Mac says anything of the sort.
