The iPhone 6 has this undo button on the keyboard when in landscape. It's situated right above the comma and close to the "a" key. I routinely catch it, but for whatever reason it erases everything I've written with no way to restore.

Who on earth thought this key was a good idea, and that it should live just there. Did they not test it at all?

And more importantly, is there any way to remove or disable it?

Shake the phone to undo, shake it again to redo. I don't know if there's an option to remove the software key on the keyboard though.

Yeah, if you hit the key by mistake, just shake the phone for the redo option.
Only other way is to replace the keyboard entirely with a third party one.

Everyone knows the circle is the positive image

This is my iPhone 6 in landscape, I'm baffled why I haven't got this undo option (shaking gives me the option but not on the keyboard).

Try this; SETTINGS>DISPLAY&BRIGHTNESS>DISPLAY ZOOM, and change from STANDARD TO ZOOMED.

On zoomed that will get shot of the undo button on the keypad. This is why I couldn't find it on mine, because I have mine on zoomed, I reset all settings on the phone and discovered this!

Thanks for the replies. Shaking the phone to undo / redo doesn't always restore the text, I don't think it ever has when I've tried that.

Thanks, I shall try this, I want the old keyboard back.
