Can I downgrade my phone to Android 10?
We strongly recommend that you don’t downgrade your current Android OS to Android 10 because it isn’t the latest Android version and won’t have the latest protection and security features.
Not only could downgrading cause security issues and put your data at risk, but it’s also a very complex process which uses third-party software.
If you're still using Android 10 on your device and you'd like to upgrade, you can download Android 11, which will bring you a selection of new features and security improvements. Check with your phone manufacturer to see if your device is compatible for the upgrade.
