The notes app on the iPhone doesn’t have the undo functionality. The iPad does since you’re prolly using it on a desk.
Once again, you don’t know what you’re talking about:

Please stop making things up. You clearly aren’t knowledgable about this and you are just making yourself look foolish.

It does work consistently if you know how to use it.

Other apps might have it disabled for whatever reason.
These two statements are in direct conflict.

For instance, some Goog apps have a feature where you shake your device to send feedback.
Are you trying to say “Google” or having a stroke? I’m leaning towards the latter but wanted to check with you first.

The feature hasn’t been accidentally triggered for me on a car. Firm grasp ma dude. You’ll drop your phone.
First of all, you should ride inside the car, not on the car.

So now you’re telling me how to hold it? Apple apologist circa 2010 “antenna gate” right here. Jobs would be proud, lol.

How can a car trigger it accidentally but you can’t trigger it without an earthquake?

It was a comical response to a stupid post from a user eager to prove something about himself to internet strangers.
To be honest I can’t follow this gibberish. It must be interesting to be inside your mind while you are attempting to translate thoughts into text.

Are you referring to me in the third person here for some bizarre reason or are you so out of it that you didn’t even realize that I am the same person you originally responded to? I’m leaning towards your response being “I’m not even sure what planet I’m on, maybe planet goog?”

Good UX is one where the user knows what’s up.
This is pure gold. I’ll be sure to tell that to my next client. Very professional and insightful. I’ll get hired every time.

When I was 15 I had an iPod. I didn’t have much experience with computers. When I saw the prompt I immediately knew - shake, get a prompt. Oh ok frustrated movements will help me clear the mistakes. This is also why Goog has feedback mapped to this gesture.
You didn’t have much experience with computers by age 15? Yikes. This explains a lot. Why exactly do you think you’re some expert at UX while refuting my valid criticism?

Don’t come on here boasting your job or whatever because YOU can’t figure out that there are times when things shouldn’t be done. Like shaking your phone while in bed with your sleeping wife. Also, you wouldn’t be doing that if you just knew that flicking your wrist twice quickly will trigger it. No earthquake required.
OK, first of all, don’t ever tell me what I can and cannot do.

Second of all, how was I boasting by giving my credentials? You’re conflating being knowledgeable and writing cohesive sentences with boasting. Coincidentally, these are two areas where I would suggest improvement.

Shake to undo is abhorrently bad UX design. Like I said, it’s not intuitive, most people don’t even realize it exists, it’s inconsistent, it’s unreliable, and it’s not universally applied.

I would like for the iPhone to be able to take photos in low light like the Pixel 1/2/3 with Night Sight and the other Android phones. It's very embarassing that Apple can't release this, especially since Google released for all generations of Pixel.

Original Pixel is mostly software, Pixel 2 and beyond uses a physical image processor chip (like the one in a regular camera) on the mobo of the phone, in addition to software.

I still don't understand facetime with 31 people. What do you need that for?
I'm sure it appeals to teenagers or a swingers group.
 
Apple is seriously—in 2019—advertising shake to undo as one of the top iPhone features? It's one of the least intuitive features and an example of bad UX design. Every time I have to do it in bed it wakes up my wife.
You Should not use this feature while your sleeping wife is holding the phone. Kind regards, Tim

I really like speak selection feature on iOS.

I wish they'd implement undo/redo buttons somewhere in the keyboard. I find shake to undo pretty annoying to use. And very slow if you need to undo several times.
Maybe a simple gesture like two finger swipe left to undo and two finger swipe right to redo.

I like Siri but the old girl needs a lot more work.

I like your ermine avatar. I was using one for the winter, too.

Love ermine, and It was sarcasm, I agree with you, They need improve more on Siri, the other assistants are better and fail less.

This is a disingenuous comment. It may also appeal to families scattered all over the globe with families and offers a way for all to get together and chat and see each others faces. This is just one use case. My use case. Others have their own use cases.

Bro. YOU. ARE. TRYING. TO. HARD. TO. SOUND. SMART.

It’s ok. I don’t know you nor care. Relax. But you’re right I guess I never saw the undo button. Don’t do drawings. Seems like it’s the only way for it to show up. Makes sense. If you’re drawing the quickest way to remove accidents is an undo button not a shake gesture.

If you want me to make a YouTube vid of how to use the gesture I might be up for it but I would roast people like you and you might not like it.

$10 says you comment to correct grammar mistakes.

I'm not even trying kid. You're just that behind the curve. This is how I normally am. Nice straw man argument there at the end, though. "I'm not right so I'm going to make up something about you to prove my point!"

Again trying to be smart. No straw man I just know an internet victory will please you more than me. So I walked away. Enjoy

I wasn't even aware of this shake feature!! Lol, oh my, imagine if Samsung applied such a "feature " , the amount of bile sent in their direction would be immense....
