If the “iPhone hidden tricks” list were a bucket, it’ll surely have an endless bottom.

Irrespective of how many you use everyday, you can’t be sure you know all. New ones randomly pop up and never fail to make you say, “Eureka!”

Now, try doing that while holding the shift key ⬆️. This selects text without ever needing to tap on the text field.

#2. Four ways to undo (And three ways to redo)
