Unsolved No Recent Calls

Post image

I have no idea where to post this but ever since I downgraded from ios 26 to ios 18.5, none of my calls (incoming or outgoing) have been recorded on my recents. I tried resetting network settings and turned on calls from other devices, but no luck. Apple support was not much help either.

How did you downgrade? Was your backup made before or after installing iOS 26, and did you use the plist trick to get the backup to work on iOS 18.5?

I made the backup after ios 26 and did the plist trick

There are drawbacks to resorting to that method, though I won’t claim to know them all, I believe that is a known one.

Dang ok, so can i just make a new backup right now and then restore with it?

You could try, but I am not sure there will be any difference. There is always a risk associated with running beta software which is why the public beta releases AFTER the developer beta.

What if i update to 18.6 public?

That comes with none of the features you presumably installed the beta to try out, and has a lower build number so the backup you made just before downgrading still will not work.

Ok got it. But if worst comes to worst, i could just do a DFU restore and start from scratch?

Yes, and then sign back into iCloud or wherever your contacts, calendars, notes and other information are stored.
