Tyler Morgan, a former Apple employee, has gone viral on social media after revealing several little-known but surprisingly useful tricks for iPhone users. Through his TikTok account, @hitomidocameraroll, Morgan shared this ‘secret’ that has generated more than 18 million views and has left many iPhone users amazed.
The trick in question allows you to undo actions simply by shaking the device. Although this feature is not new, Morgan has managed to highlight its usefulness and has demonstrated how it can make users’ daily lives easier. For those who have not yet discovered this feature, activation is simple.
In the video, Morgan explains that to enable the option to undo actions with a simple wave of the phone, users must head to their iPhone’s settings. From there, they navigate to “Settings,” then select “Accessibility,” and finally choose the “Touch” option. Within this section, activate the tab called “Shake to Undo”.
Once this feature is enabled, users can use it anywhere on the system or in third-party applications that support text input. For example, if they are writing a text message or email and make a mistake, they can simply shake the iPhone to undo the last action they took.
This video by Tyler Morgan, along with others with more ‘hacks’, highlight the importance of exploring the less obvious functions of Apple devices and have gone viral on social networks, with thousands of users waiting for new similar videos.
Although this trick has existed on iOS devices, Morgan’s ability to highlight these less obvious features demonstrates how his internal experience at Apple can benefit the user community. Additionally, she highlights the importance of exploring and sharing features that can improve accessibility and convenience in everyday technology use, even when those features are not new.
