Undo in Apple Notes on iPhone

If you use Notes on your iPhone, you can either shake your phone or use an on-screen option to undo and redo your changes. Depending on your situation, use the method that’s appropriate for you.

Shake Your Phone to Undo and Redo

To use this method, make sure the note in which you want to undo or redo changes is open on your iPhone.

Bring up the undo menu by shaking your phone. Do this as if you’re shaking a bottle.

You’ll see an “Undo Typing” menu. Tap “Undo” here to delete the changes you just made to your note.

If you’d like to redo your changes, shake your iPhone again. This time, in the “Undo Typing” menu, tap the “Redo Typing” option.

You’re done.

Use a Menu Option to Undo and Redo

If your movement is restricted, use the menu option to undo and redo your changes as explained below.

On your note’s screen, at the bottom, tap the “Markup” icon.

You’ll now see two icons at the top of your note’s screen. The arrow pointing in the left direction is for undoing changes, and the arrow pointing in the right direction is for redoing changes. Tap one of the two icons.

And your changes will be made to your current note.
