How to use Finger Gestures to Undo and Redo
About this QuickTip
This video will show you how to use three finger gestures to undo and redo typing and edits on your iPad or iPhone. Really quick tip to make your experience using iPadOS and iOS even better.
Transcript
A really quick new feature now: when you're doing text editing or creating a document, you can now use three fingers and flick left or flick right on your text to undo and redo what you've been typing. In the past, you could shake to undo, and there's an undo button on the keyboard for some apps, but using three fingers works right across iPadOS. This means that all you have to do is put three fingers on the screen and flick to undo what you've just done, and if you want to bring it back again, flick the other way. It's really simple and really quick.
Technical details: This QuickTip was recorded on an iPad Air 2 running iPadOS 13 in September 2019.
