How to downgrade official iOS 18 to iOS 17.7

Apple has released the official version of iOS 18. I want to downgrade from iOS 18 to iOS 17.7 without any risks since my iPhone 14 isn’t compatible with it (keyboard lags, interface is difficult to use, etc). I hope I can get help from professionals 😭😭😭

Apple has never supported downgrading. If you have just updated, you will need to give it a good 3-4 days to index your files for spotlight and analyze you photos to take advantage of the new object detection algorithms. This all takes place in the background while you are using your device and will appear to slow it down and also use more battery power. After that is done, your phone will be back to normal.
