Three-Finger Undo and Redo
What This Does
Reverses or re-applies your last edit using a three-finger swipe on the screen.
Why It's Useful
Shaking the device to undo is awkward and easy to miss. Three-finger swipes work in any app that supports editing — Notes, Mail, Pages — and become second nature after a few reps.
How to Do It
- Place three fingers on the screen
- Swipe left to undo the last action
- Swipe right to redo an action you just undid
Try This Now
Open Notes, type a sentence, then three-finger swipe left to undo it. Three-finger swipe right to bring the text back. Repeat three times until the gesture feels natural.
Mental Hook: Swipe left to take it back.
