How to Use Samsung’s Hidden Undo & Redo Gesture on Galaxy Phone

Typing on a PC or a Mac has its advantages. We have the luxury of pressing Ctrl + Z to undo any mistake in our writing. The same thing on a MacBook can be accomplished by pressing Command + Z. But what about Android devices like a smartphone that we use widely. Is there a way to undo our text drafting mistakes..?  Well, catching up with the PC platform, Samsung’s smartphone keyboard has a cool feature to undo a typing error. In this guide, I will explain to you How to Use Samsung’s Hidden Undo & Redo Gesture on any Galaxy device.

This feature is an in-built feature in the Galaxy devices from Samsung. You don’t need to do any rooting or install any third-party apps to enable this feature. There are other prominent keyboard apps such as Gboard and the SwiftKey. However, they don’t provide such a feature to use gestures to perform undo and redo. Let’s get into the guide now and see how to enable this feature on any Samsung Galaxy phone.

How Does the Undo & Redo Gesture Works on a Samsung Galaxy Device

If you notice, here I’m talking about gestures. Naturally, smartphone keyboards don’t have a Ctrl or Command button. So, we will use a swipe gesture to undo a mistake in our text that we are working on.

Normally, the onscreen keyboard of Android smartphones come with a swipe to type feature. We swipe around from alphabet to alphabet to form a word. On the Samsung Galaxy device, we will disable this feature. Then we will replace it with a gesture where we have to swipe to undo a mistake. Similarly, we can also swipe to repeat or redo an action.
