I once shook my phone because I was annoyed by autocorrect repeatedly messing up. The shaking undid more than half the text I had written. I couldn't find a way to redo.
- whatshisface 7y ago"I'll show him to shake me..."
- slovette 7y agoI know this is HN and not Reddit. But this made me lol.
- paggle 7y agoI tried it and got an “Undo Typing” confirmation. Did you?
- saagarjha 7y agoYou get that and then accepting it deletes a large portion of the text.
- KukicAdnan 7y agoThat's what Undo Typing does...
- pegasus 7y agoHe's complaining that Undo is overly agressive, given that there's no (obvious) redo function.
- catalogia 7y agoJust shake it backwards of course.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoHuh? It usually pops up a message asking if you want to undo, which you need to tap. I'm pretty darn sure this is how the feature has worked since it was introduced.
- Aeolun 7y agoProbably, but you do not necessarily expect half your text to disappear when you click accept right?
- IAmGraydon 7y agoWhen a message pops up asking me if I want to undo my typing and I click yes, I do in fact expect the text I typed to disappear.

- Dylan16807 7y agoThat's not the question that was asked.
- IAmGraydon 7y agoThe question that was asked was obviously hyperbolic as the undo function doesn’t just delete half of what you typed.
- ajmurmann 7y agoYou are right. I hadn't used this in a long time. Did it always pop up the dialog? I could have sworn it didn't.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoAs I said, I'm pretty darn sure it has always popped up a dialog. Certainly, the dialog has existed for a very long time, I recall seeing it on my first gen iPad, when I was in High School. (I graduated college three years ago.)
- bouke 7y agoShake once more, it'll offer to redo.
