Step 1: Backup Your Data
Before you proceed with removing the iOS 14 beta update, make sure to backup your iPhone or iPad data. This is important as you may lose your data during the process. To backup your data, go to Settings > iCloud > Backup and tap on “Back Up Now”.
Step 2: Download the Previous iOS Version
To get rid of the iOS 14 beta update, you need to download the previous iOS version first. You can download the firmware from websites like ipsw.me or use iTunes to download the firmware.
Step 3: Connect Your Device to Computer
Connect your iPhone or iPad to a computer using a USB cable. If you have iTunes installed on your computer, open it. If not, download and install iTunes first.
