How do I undo or redo a text modification on my iPhone?
As I use my iPhone to modify my text, I can find no way to revert back.
On my Mac, I can always press “Command Z” to undo, and I can always press “Command Y” to redo — a modification.
My only workaround is to cut and paste what need be.
So, how undo or redo a text modification on my iPhone? Can I use these keys some how to do so?:

Just shake the phone for undo.
Again shake for Redo.
Place your finger near the end of the text with which you wish to work. This should produce a magnifier like circle over the spot. Move the circle until all the text can be seen. Release your finger which should show the options to Select and Select All. Tap the preferred choice which will produce more options. Tap the one appropriate to your needs.
Shaking should work as described in the previous post, but you must shake fairly hard and fast. Then a dialog will appear above the entry window with the options Cancel or Undo.
If the Shake to Undo described above is not working, check Settings > General > Accessibility > make sure Shake to Undo is on.

I removed my iPhone 6 from my Otter Box case.
Shaking does actually work, though shaking it hard and fast might cause damage, should I drop it. At least, I now know that shaking it does, indeed, work.
Thank you for that.
Tried both. No luck.
I was not aware of not being required to tap “Select” or “Select All”. I’ve always been highlighting the word or part of it.
Thank you for that.
I check that out as my first step, and Shake to Undo is already on “On”.
Excellent recommendation!
