This wikiHow teaches you how to prevent your phone from deleting your last-written word or phrase when you shake your phone.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open your iPhone's settings. Do so by tapping the grey gear icon on one of your Home screens (it might also be in a folder named "Utilities").
  2. 2
    Tap General.
  3. 3
    Tap Accessibility. This is below the "Home Button" option.
  4. 4
    Scroll to the fourth group of options and select Shake to Undo.
