The scrolling function on your iPhone is something you probably don’t think about much. In fact, the experience is so seamless that it’s easy to find yourself doomscrolling on social media for hours on end, or working your way down a long email, until you realize you need to get back to the top of the page. Then what? Are you left to endlessly scroll all that way back up?Â
The answer is no. That’s because there’s a hidden solution that’s both simple and easy to remember. You just tap on your iPhone once, but you need to hit the right spot and the device will zap you to the top of your page instantly. Here’s where you need to tap depending on what iPhone model you use.
Tap on the top of the screen to have the iPhone scroll to the top of the current page.
