Fortunately iOS 9 allows you to toggle the “Shake to Undo” feature on or off. Our guide below will direct you to this setting so that you can turn it off if you are not using it.

How to Turn Off the “Shake to Undo” Option on an iPhone 6

The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 6 Plus, in iOS 9. This option was only made available in iOS 9, so iPhones running versions prior to that will not have this option. If you are not sure of the iOS version that is on your device, you can find out how to check your iOS version here. Now when you shake your iPhone, either intentionally or unintentionally, you will no longer get a pop up that asks you if you would like to undo your previous action. The iPhone will simply not register the device shaking as something to which it needs to react. Does it seem like you are using a lot more mobile data after you have updated to iOS 9? It may be due to a feature called Wi-Fi Assist that will automatically use cellular data if your Wi-Fi signal is bad. Learn how to turn off Wi-Fi Assist in iOS 9 if this is something that you would like to stop.
