When a typographical error is made when typing on the iPhone, everything can be solved, and sometimes with a simple gesture.

iOS allows you to perform some actions through gestures, either on the screen or by shaking the mobile

The usual key combination CTRL-Z (on Windows) or Command-Z on Mac) is not available on mobile phones and there are times when it is missed, but in return Apple’s mobile operating system has devised a formula for carry out a similar action taking advantage of the support offered by iOS for make gestures, some with their fingers on the mobile screen, others directly shaking the mobile itself.

Specifically, the gesture of shaking to undo an error has been on iPhone since iOS 3 in 2009 (when the operating system of Apple’s smartphone was still called iPhone OS) but despite this it is a very unknown gesture for most iPhone owners and operating in any app: messages, email, instant messaging, notes …

Of course, there may be those who are not satisfied with the existence of this shortcut by means of a gesture, since if it is done inadvertently it can cause accidental (and unwanted) deletion of the last thing that has been written, so it is also convenient to know how to deactivate the gesture of “Shake to erase”, which is achieved in the following way

-To access to the Settings menu.

-Get in in Accessibility.

-Press on the Touch option.

In addition, since iOS 13 another option has been added to undo what was typed or undo something that has been deleted without shaking the iPhone is the gesture of slide three fingers on the screen in the direction from the right to the left. But even before, iOS has been an accumulation of tricks and shortcuts that, knowing them, can greatly facilitate the handling of the mobile.
