Hello!
I have updated to IOS 18 beta. I am wondering is there a way for me to update to the official version of IOS 18?

Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.

If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.

In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.

All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

Turn off the beta switch, then go back into the main update screen. I don't remember if this'll require you to download the official ios 18 version but, if it does just press update and wait until it downloads the os and installs it and you'll be good to go.

Hi, Yes, you can restore to official iOS version.
In order to do it you need to sync your device with iTunes, and to rich to "Recovery mode".
It depends on your device.
You need to connect your device to your computer, and you need to press on "Volume Up" and "Power button" for 1 minute.
Choose in "Update and restore" to go back to iOS 18.

You can, but it does require restoring your device. If you turn off the beta option you'll be updated to the next full release of IOS 18, most likely, IOS 18.0.2 now. If you are on IOS 18.1, like I am, turning it off before the official release next month should, I think, mean it replaces the beta. Basically, a more recent version of the standard is the only way it can trump the existing install.
