And sometimes iOS updates just ***. A lot of people don’t like this one. It’s not about fearing change. This update isn’t an improvement for everyone, especially on older devices. Really unhelpful to say “get over it, or never try any new updates again.” Apple should make the old styles an option in their settings.

I have the same question and would PAY to go back!!! My photos are now a mess. My sense of organization is NOT YOURS. So PLEASE offer a return to previous IOS version. Many Apple clients unhappy. DITCH 18.01 and show you’re listening!

And even more Apple customers are not unhappy.


You cannot downgrade.


By the way, if you're still running iOS 18.0.1, you're well out of date and are missing a number of security updates. The current version is iOS 18.3.2.
