Hello as beta 4 is too slow and less smooth I would like to get back to the beta 3 by doing a restore through itunes however I would like to know if I will be able to use my backup made with the beta 4 or no ?
Thank you

It should work since it's still iOS 9 but beware that betas all have expiration dates. We're very likely close to the expiration date for beta 3 and if you're on a beta when it expires, you will have to wipe the phone and restore from backup.
I'm just basing it off history. All previous betas iOS 4 to iOS 8 had expiration dates. Better safe than sorry.
iOS 9 betas have no expiration dates but I don't believe any of them are being signed anymore aside from beta 4.
So can you please tell me what will be the simplest way to downgrade my beta 4 to the beta 3 please ? I dont wanna get *****d up
I already said you can't. Apple isn't signing any of the betas except for beta 4.
I don't think you can. It's either last official release (8.4) or latest beta (9.0 beta 4)
Just hold tight, beta 5 is around the corner and could be as soon as tomorrow, if not, then likely day this next Monday/Tuesday coming up.
I haven't tried this exact circumstance but I was able to install Beta 1 after the fact that Beta 2 and 3 was released. However others are saying Apple isn't signing old beta so I don't know
It won't work. Beta 3 is no longer being signed by Apple. There's nothing to try.
I actually got it working without even restoring to ios 8.4 i just clicked on option + search for updates on itunes then i selected the beta 3 ipsw file and it was installed but only matter my sms wasn't backed up and I had to manually restore some apps.
