Questions about using iOS 7 beta

Hi, Just had a quick question about iOS 7 beta. Right now I'm running 6.1.3. I was thinking of trying iOS 7 beta 3 to see how it is. If I decided I didn't really like the beta and wanted to go back to iOS 6.1.3, could I just restore my phone back to the 6.1.3 backup from what would be a few days before? Thanks in advance

I'd find a friend with an iPhone and do it to theirs first ;) http://readwrite.com/2013/06/13/how-to-downgrade-from-ios-7-beta-back-to-ios-6#awesm=~obxgAxWwMmEW9S Cheers! -- Smug

Yes. I went from 6.1.3 to BETA1, then restores back to 6.1.3. Then I went to BEta 2 and restored back to 6.1.3. And I've done with BETa 3 also

Just make sure you download the appropriate restore ipsw files. So the same way you upgraded to iOS7, is the same way you downgrade from iOS7. -tM

I installed iOS 6 Beta on my iPhone 4s last year and I was not able to use my phone effectively. This year I loaded it onto an iPod 5th Gen which I do not rely on for every day use. Jake

I am running iOS 7 Beta 3 on my 4s and it is working just fine. I had the Beta 2 and the OS crashed frequently (but launches quickly), but I was still able to rely on it for my everyday phone.
