The first thing I wanted to do when I saw this was to disable it.
this is anoying. and i would like to disable it.
Such an epic fail - can't believe there is no option to disable this 'feature'.
Xmas 2011 - a great present from Apple would be the ability to switch off "shake to undo" and have an undo button appear on the onscreen keyboard. It could be on the numerical keyboard, it's already there on the iPad and there would be space on the iPhone keyboard too with a tiny bit of rejigging.
Shaking to undo isn't practical or cool and has led to m iPhone going flying a few times.
And before someone suggests leaving feedback for Apple, I already did a while ago. As a fan, user and shareholder, I would love Apple to do something about this.
Plz make t go away. Who wants to shake to delete anyway. I have a key for that. Undo typing came up 15 times while I typed these four sentences.
Allow us to assign a keystroke on keyboard plus some other global action as an alternative.
Especially for iPad.
Backspace delete key is good for typing, but not for undoing actions.
I know an amputee - just 1 arm - shake to undo is awkward enough for us and worse for him. He has to use deathgrip and nearly break the glass or otherwise the ipad flings across the room (or down the airplane aisle). So much for the famed usability for the less able bodied or elderly.
you CAN undo the shaking. go to settings, scroll down to music, tunr "shake to shuffle" off. this is for the ipod and nano comments. not sure about the phone. my ipod and phone only shake to shuffle when playing music.
Shake to Undo absolutely can be disabled but Apple warns that such Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues
THis is a great feature that was brought to us by the experienced parents at apple.
wrote a text and are unhappy with it- even slightly annoyed? - just shake it like you would that baby when it annoys you...
great training.:p
okok, joke aside... This "feature" needs options to disable.
thx n greets:)
This future will be added in iOS 9 So you will be able to turn that annoying thing off.
done! iOS 9 is out, just hit the settings app and lookup "shake to undo" then turn it off
Thank you so much for this. The **** thing has been annoying me for ages! If anyone else is looking, it's under Accessibility in General Settings.
Yes, you can!
