As we all know, the beta versions of the software are released with the possibility to let the friendly users and developers look for bugs and report them. Similarly, the iOS 16 feature built is now complete, and its beta version is made available for users to install and use. Now, for those who have installed the developer’s beta mode and using it for testing and development purposes, it must be fine. However, there are yet many users who have installed the public beta version without purpose and now want to get rid of it.
Moreover, these beta installs keep bringing up more beta build updates from time to time. This is one of the main reasons why general people want to leave the beta version and shift to their older OS version. Luckily, if you are using the iOS 16 or iPadOS 16 beta version and want to leave the beta testing program, you can do it pretty much comfortably. Although there are a few norms, you should keep in mind. Today we will discuss everything, including the entire process of how to leave the iOS 16 beta testing program.
How to Leave the iOS 16 Beta Testing Program?
First of all, before leaving the iOS beta testing program, there are a few conditions you should be aware of. The most common reason for wanting to leave a beta program is to stop receiving beta build updates. Well, in the same way, you will stop receiving any further beta updates after leaving the iOS/ iPadOS 16 beta testing program too.
Note that once you leave in the middle of this program, you will be stuck in the particular beta version. However, you will receive the final stable version once it is available for the users. As a result, once you install the beta builds, there is no vital reason for wanting to leave the testing phase. But even so, if you want to leave the program, here is how to do it.
- Launch the Device Settings app on iOS.
- Now, go to General, scroll down, and tap on the option ‘VPN & Device Management.’
- Under Configuration Profile’ section, tap on ‘iOS 16 & iPadOS 16 Beta Software Profile.’
- Next, click on the Remove Profile option.
- You will then be asked for your device passcode for verification. Enter your passcode and tap on the Remove button again.
Once done, you will then need to restart your device for the changes to appear on your device. And that is how you can exit from the iOS 16 beta program.
Conclusion
By following these above-mentioned steps, you should be able to easily leave the iOS or iPadOS 16 beta testing program. However, make sure that even after doing so, it will only remove the beta profile from your device. But you will still be stuck in the same beta system software that you have already installed. In case you want to get rid of the system software itself, then you will have to downgrade your iOS version to 15 or lower as per your requirement.
