Question: How Do I Get an Older Version of iOS?
Contents

Can I go back to an older version of iOS?

Going back to an older version of iOS or iPadOS is possible, but it’s not easy or recommended. You can roll back to iOS 14.4, but you probably shouldn’t. Whenever Apple releases a new software update for the iPhone and iPad, you have to decide how soon you should update.

How do I install an older version of iOS on my iPad?

To start, connect your iOS device to your computer, then follow these steps:

  1. Open up iTunes.
  2. Head to the “Device” menu.
  3. Select the “Summary” tab.
  4. Hold the Option key (Mac) or left Shift key (Windows).
  5. Click on “Restore iPhone” (or “iPad” or “iPod”).
  6. Open the IPSW file.
  7. Confirm by clicking the “Restore” button.
