2. You can now delete the iOS 15 beta profile from your device. You may need to enter your device password to confirm in order to complete the process. 
3. As soon as the profile is deleted, your iPhone or iPad will no longer receive any public iOS beta versions. 

When the next completed version of iOS is released, you can download it from the device settings as usual.

How to Revert to a Public iOS version

Of course, you don’t have to wait for a new public iOS version. Of course, you can also revert to the latest iOS software beforehand. To do this, you have to put your iPhone or iPad into recovery mode, and this is how it works:

• On iPhone 8 or later: Briefly press the volume up button and then immediately release it. Briefly press the volume down button and then immediately release it. Then press and hold the side button until the maintenance status screen appears.
• iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold the standby and volume down buttons at the same time. Don’t let go of the buttons when the Apple logo appears. Keep holding the buttons until the maintenance status screen appears.
• On an iPhone 6s and earlier, iPad, or iPod touch: Press and hold the Standby button and the “Home” button at the same time. Don’t let go of the buttons until the Apple logo appears. Keep holding the buttons until the maintenance status screen appears.

Now the iPhone or iPad must be connected to the Mac using a lightning cable. Since the device is in recovery mode, you need to hit the “Restore” option. This will delete the iOS beta from your device and install the regular version of the final iOS version. 

Now, wait for the restoration to complete. As soon as you are asked to enter your Apple ID and password, the activation lock will be deactivated. After the restore is complete, you can set up your device from the previously archived backup or completely from scratch. This backup should come from an older iOS version; if it is a backup with an iOS beta version, it cannot be restored. So, remember to take backup with the official final iOS version installed on your iPhone. As of now, iOS 14.6 version is available for iPhone.
