Have you ever accidentally deleted a paragraph of text, or pasted something in the wrong spot? It can be incredibly frustrating trying to fix it manually.

But your iPhone has a hidden feature that makes this effortless: Shake to Undo.

How to use it:

  1. If you make a mistake while typing, simply give your iPhone a quick shake.
  2. A pop-up will appear asking if you want to "Undo Typing."
  3. Tap Undo, and your text will be restored.

If you change your mind, you can shake it again to Redo. It feels a little silly the first time you do it, but it is one of the fastest ways to fix a mistake on the fly!
