I got the iOS 26 beta update without having my iPhone backed up and now I want to go back to iOS 18. I can’t find a way to do it.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 26
No. Even if you did have a backup, you would still not be able to downgrade to iOS 18.
Downgrading was only supported during the Beta Test and that ended some time ago. But, if you did not have a backup, you would not have been able to downgrade during the Beta Test period.
Hello~ Downgrading has never been supported. Information on backup…
Back up iPhone - Apple Support

I’m so confused this iOS 26 can i return to iOS 18?
How can I downgrade from iOS 26 beta to iOS 18 without a backup?
