Disable Shake to Undo

I'm constantly bombarded with messages about "Nothing To Undo". Pretty irritating to have to regularly dismiss these messages. Is there a way to disable this unhelpful "feature"?

Way to go apple. Youre all scared of Jobs... I kno whe is mean but dont let him bully you any more to the point you go to market with a product so prematue that its an abortion.

If you don't like the phone then return it and get an inferior android phone that has more problems than an apple phone. I know because my wife has an android phone and the thing is a P.O.S.

Dear Apple,

This feature is a constant annoyance. Pleas provide an option to disable it.

This feature is so annoying. It pops up with the slightest movement and Apple should have a way to turn it off. I would have to be a user with parkinsons or something that caused my hands to tremor!

Such an epic fail - can't believe there is no option to disable this 'feature'.

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.

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.
