No.

The current version is 26.2.

Downgrading is not and has never been supported.

If you'd like help solving your 'issues', you need to explain what's wrong and what troubleshooting you've done.

My home security app no longer works. I’ve reinstalled it several times with no luck. I also called the security company that uses it, but they thought it must be an issue with my google fiber network, but I’m not having any other network related issues. Also, the app still works on my iPad that has iOS 18.6.2

When a 3rd party app stops working after an iOS update, it is guaranteed to be an issue with the App, not your iPhone. They need to update their app to be compatible with iOS 26.2 (which you should update to as that was released a couple days ago). Sadly, 3rd party app developers love to pass the blame. This isn't an Apple issue. It's an issue the app developer needs to fix.
