Can I downgrade my iPhone from iOS 18 to the previous version?

What happens to you when you click on a video in a folder and click slideshow? Do you even have any folders? You won’t know what I’m talking about if you don’t. Music Automatically plays is what I mean you can’t take it off. I still have the original video. It’s just when I click slideshow as I have already said in a previous message.

I guess, But I’m clicking on slideshow first on a video I like in a small folder, there is no option of having the videos audio only either muting it or having rubbish music over the top. I really liked the magazine style they had in the last update. It would zoom in on the person and have a nice fade into the next video but I guess they took that out.

Tell Apple what you'd like to see:

Product Feedback - Apple

I was talking to multiple family members this morning, all of whom use Apple IPhones and the photo applications daily. We are all so upset by the changes in this latest version and would ask to go back to the last if we could. What was easy and comfortable to navigate for each of us with different ages and styles of use is now a royal pain. Some popular functions that were one touch or two touches now require extra steps in a way that is more like google website- many don’t like. I’d like option to go back.

Photo library is beyond annoying with this update. Sure hope Apple pays attention to these complaints and does something about it sooner than later. And please stop with all the auto suggestions in the photos... I don't need your suggestions anywhere because I can actually think for myself. I go to search for something that I am specifically searching for and Apple is too busy making suggestions of what I should do and taking up screen space. Why can't tech people ever just leave well enough alone.....

It just seems like some changes are made just for the sake of making a change and don't necessarily improve the ease of use. When it makes something more complicated and time consuming to figure out then it is less user friendly for the average person. I get that changes are needed but sometimes it is just too much at one time and feels like we need a class to figure it all out again. Maybe I'm just getting too old for technology to be my friend. Thanks for feedback link... i was wondering where that was!

Please fix this Apple! I would love to have IOS 17 back, it was a perfect version.

When iOS 17 came out, some people said "Please fix this Apple! I would love to have IOS 16back, it was a perfect version. " When iOS 16 came out, some people said, "Please fix this Apple! I would love to have IOS 15 back, it was a perfect version." And so on.

There are probably still people out there who are grumpy that Apple made any changes from the original iPhone.

And now we are ready for when iOS 19 comes out, it will be iOS 18 that was the best version ever and should have never been changed.

What is it when you do the same thing over and over and expect different results?

Great!! How? I've heard this but no one has described how. There is no way to get the sprawl of all pics from the home display. It's ugly and unorganized and completely defeats the purpose of having the albums on the home screen for showing others or viewing your pics.

This update has ruined the phone visually and ruined the functionality of it. Can I go back to my pre-iOS 18 interface? Navigating photos is awful, the number on top of the on screen notifications is pointless and I simply don’t like it. I’ve used iPhone for years as they are simple and straightforward to use, this is the biggest advantage of the iPhone and they’ve taken it away. I am seriously considering moving to android unless they revert back to how things were laid out before.

I’d like to rêver my iOS setting. The question is my « why change something that was working with something that doesn’t »? Why????

i have never been dissatisfied with any iOS update in the past and I had iPhone for 15 years.

this 18.1.1 update is the most stupid thing I’ve ever seen. It’s like having to learn to use a completely different operating system.

OH MY! they I am not the only one!!!!!

what the heck happened?!?!!

all the languages are messed ed up.

nothing works anynore

all these errors in grammar

plus: the Photo folder but most of all the data/wifi volume commands are SO SMALL and invisible

why why why in pazuzu name this awful update FFS

For me it’s not about the “change”, I love my 11xr , I updated to make it easier to send a text message later. I probably don’t know know how to use many things but it was great for my needs. I updated, was maybe running ios 14, not sure, and now it constantly freezes, I got rid of any junk I could find which seemed a little better but again it freezes up constantly. Took me half an hour just to type this out.

Is there anything I can do?

Two things:

• Force Restart the phone - It may take a couple of attempts to get the key sequence correct and the last step of holding the side button until the Apple logo appears could take up to 15 seconds. Ignore anything else on the screen during that time.

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

• What do you have showing for your Battery Health at Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging?

Yep just one of the DOWNGRADES IOS18 has created. Crap

Apple won't see or read your complaint. What they will read is the feedback when using the appropriate link provided many times.

PLEASE LET ME DOWNGRADE!!!!

Customer service said I had to return to factory settings and then I would recover pictures lost with update. WHY would I trust that when it took me three layers of employees just to get that answer. BABY PICTURES GONE!!!
