Tips: You'd better to backup your data before the downgrade.

iCloud and iTunes can help you do the backup. I'd recommend the

iCloud method, it's easier. Go to your iOS device 'Settings' ->

'Storage & Backup', turn on the 'iCloud Backup', and click 'Back

Up Now'. The backup will be start automatically, it will take a few

minutes to finish the backup.

Now. Let's Start the steps to downgrade iOS. I will take my iPhone as sample

in this guide, the operation steps are the same for iPad and iPod Touch.

Step1. Turn off the iPhone. Push the Home button and hold it, while you plug

it into the computer. Wait until you see the screen that announces you to

connect to iTunes.

Step2. iTunes should announce you that an iPhone is in the recovery mode. It

needs to be restored if you want to use it. Click OK.

device. Click on the Restore and Update button.

7.1.1. When the download is done, it will be installed automatically.
