@fmf saidSo you want to do edits without them tallying up, is that it?
Could it be made possible to undo errors [maybe consecutively working backwards] when typing? This would be useful especially when posting using a phone.
The feature is working as intended. You have a perfectly functional way to do what you want.

@kewpie saidI am talking about, let's say, typing something and then deleting it and then thinking better of it and having the option to undo that deletion. This is all before posting. It has nothing to do with editing a post after it has been posted.
Is the "preview post" tickbox not available on your phone?

@suzianne saidNo. A backspace key and an undo feature are different.
It's called the backspace key.
If I type a sentence and then delete it - using the backspace key - but I delete the previous sentence as well by accident, with an undo feature I can reverse that unintended deletion rather than have to type both sentences all over again.
It'd be handy when typing on my phone where things get inadvertently deleted sometimes because the small screen makes things fiddly. Most text writing/editing apps have an undo feature.
