Unfortunately, it is not possible to downgrade from iOS 16 to iOS 15 if you have already updated.


After an update, you may initially experience that some apps freeze and the system runs a little slower than usual. The new system just needs to be run in. After a short time everything should work normally.


Start by closing ALL your apps, then turn off your iPhone, wait a moment and turn it on again.

You Can't: Downgrading the iOS is not an option.
