After a new iOS version is released, Apple stops signing older versions \u2014 a security measure to prevent installing software with known vulnerabilities. ([macworld.com](https://www.macworld.com/article/2020596/downgrade-iphone-older-version-ios.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- Once Apple stops signing a given version, you can\u2019t install it anymore, even if you have a backup. ([macworld.com](https://www.macworld.com/article/2020596/downgrade-iphone-older-version-ios.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f Are there any exceptions?\n\nPossibly, but extremely limited opportunities only:\n\n- If the version you updated from is **still being signed** by Apple, you might be able to roll back. Typically, that window is just a few days after Apple releases the newer iOS. ([macworld.com](https://www.macworld.com/article/2020596/downgrade-iphone-older-version-ios.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- Restoring *data* might work if you have a backup from the older version, but the iOS version itself won\u2019t revert unless it's still signed.

If your old version is *not* signed \u2014 then rollback won\u2019t work. ([macworld.com](https://www.macworld.com/article/2020596/downgrade-iphone-older-version-ios.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n3. **Report feedback to Apple.**  \n   If the new version is causing issues and rollback is not possible, letting Apple know (via the Feedback app or through Apple Support) helps them adjust future updates.  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me *which iOS version* your phone is on now and *which version* you want to go back to, I can check whether a rollback is technically still possible for **your** device."

This will show only the emails you\u2019ve flagged. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/outlook-for-ios-and-android-quick-start?utm_source=openai))\n\n### View flagged email list in Microsoft To Do\n- When you flag an email in Outlook, it automatically shows up as a \u201ctask\u201d in Microsoft To Do \u2014 specifically in the **Flagged Email** list. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/how-can-i-manage-my-outlook-tasks-on-mobile?utm_source=openai))\n- To see these:\n  1. Open Microsoft To Do (you can use the app or web).\n  2. Navigate to **Flagged Email** under smart lists. All your flagged Outlook emails should be there.

If those tasks are from flagged emails, you\u2019ll see them there. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/how-can-i-manage-my-outlook-tasks-on-mobile?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f Limitations & what\u2019s not fully supported\n\n- There is **no dedicated \u201cFlagged Email folder\u201d** in Outlook iOS like there is on desktop. Flagged emails are not collected in a folder in the Mail sidebar automatically. ([techyorker.com](https://techyorker.com/how-to-view-flagged-emails-in-outlook-a-quick-guide/?utm_source=openai))  \n- You *can\u2019t always view all flagged emails by folder unless you filter manually.* That Filter button is your go-to, but it doesn\u2019t replace having a permanent folder in your folder list.
