How to roll back from iOS 13.4 to iOS 13.3.1 on iPhone. This month, Apple released an iOS 13.4 update with bug fixes and several new features. However, many users complain that after the update they had problems with charge consumption and Bluetooth. If you also have such problems, you can roll back to iOS 13.3.1. This is also true for users who are interested in jailbreak.
You can roll back from iOS 13.4 to iOS 13.3.1 as long as Apple signs this version. The signature window may close at any time, so hurry up.
Nuances
- Recall that you can roll back your iPhone or iPad to iOS 13.3.1 only if Apple signs this version.
- You cannot restore your data from a backup made in iOS 13.4. The copy must have the same version of the system.
- Save all your important data with iPhone before starting the process.
