Restore to ios 15.7 from 16.0

Hello, not a fan of the new ios, is it possible to restore to ios 15.7 without plugging into a computer? I have an Icloud backup with the older version of IOS stored, does this work?

Restoring back up from iOS 14 to iOS 10 Hi, so I’m planning to restore my back up from my iOS 14 (iphone 7) to my iOS 10 (iphone 5s) Is it still possible? I always get the error message of saying that not compatible and I should update my iphone 5s to latest iOS version, but its maximum iOS version is up until 10 only.

Can I restore an older iOS backup onto a device running a newer version? This question was asked a while back and I think what the guy was asking was not answered right so I hope he liked his update. The guy in question as well as myself I believe is asking if you do a backup is your operating system saved so that if you don't like a new version, you can go back to your older iOS by using the older backup. People were answering yes but I think they mislead the guy. I think they are saying you can use the older backup, but the operating system stays with the newer version. It was made to sound like you can use backup to go back to how your phone was setup at the time of the backup, with both operating system and data. I would like to be assured I can do that, but I am pretty sure you can't. So, is there any way to go back to a past iOS version?
