Reverting back to iOS 18, is it possible?

Is there any way to revert a phone back ti iOS 18; the 26.1 is a proverbial "dumpster fire". Absent reverting, when will an update fix the glitchiness of the phone?

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26

Please tell us your problems, mostly it is the same as 18 but with enhanced visuals. If you cannot get on with liquid glass...

Either


Settings, Display & Brightness , Liquid glass, set to Tinted instead of Clear


Or one or more of these


Settings, Accessibility, Display & Text size, reduce transparency


Settings, Accessibility, Display & Text size , increase contrast


Settings, Accessibility, Motion, Reduce motion


Settings, Accessibility, Display & Text size , Display Borders
