For me personally, I use it when I'm using speech-to-text and unable to type/use the keyboard because of whatever else is in my hands, and I'm walking somewhere.

It's a very niche feature tbh, but convenient to have when I'm in the niche.

    Nah that's cool, I'm not wholly against the feature - in fact it's great to hear real life use cases. I hadn't even considered the accessibility element of things either, so that's cool too.

    It just seems from the outset to be an over engineered answer to a question nobody asked.

    Cheers for your insight though!

    The reason they made it a wanking gesture is in case you’re texting your ex while wanking with your phone in your hand.

    The original idea was to undo all the texts you’d already sent. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen constraints on the nature of spacetime, Apple was unable to deliver on their text-message-undo promises, and went for typing-undo instead.

    Then they never changed the gesture, and it’s still wankery to this day! Just a little bit of tech history for you there.
