Simple iPhone keyboard hack makes it so much easier to copy and paste text

The latest iPhone hack doing the rounds makes it much easier to copy and paste text

It also allows users to retrieve any text that has accidentally deleted.

While many iPhone users have the basic functions down, there are lots of sneaky tricks that many of us don't know, and nearly all of them make using your device easier.

The latest trick was posted by TikTok user George Reilly who wrote "Cool keyboard tricks!" reports The Mirror.

He explained: "If you're typing something and you accidentally delete it, you can use three fingers to swipe to the left, and it will undo!"

The trick works in reverse as well, so if you'd like to copy text you can use three fingers again but simply pinch the screen.

Then, to paste, use three fingers again, and pinch outwards.

And it's safe to say the trick has gone down well with many iPhone users.

"This is so useful. I always accidentally delete my notes," wrote one.

Another added: "It actually works! Omg! It also works in Messages."
