How to turn off iPhone scrolling to top

Hello,

When I accidentally touch the ‘notch’ at the top of the screen or around the clock, the screen automatically scrolls to the top. I find this exceedingly annoying as I never intend to do it. Is there any way to turn this feature off? I haven’t found one if there is. Thanks!

Disable scroll-to-top when finger barely touches iPhone menu bar Dozens of times each day, as I’m reading a webpage or app content, the page suddenly scrolls all the way to the top. This is because the puffy underside of my finger barely touches on of the top corners (the menu bar, near battery indicator or clock). This only became an issue on this iPhone 13, my first with a touchscreen that extends all the way to the top (rather than having a blank area at top for cameras, etc.). Is this supposed to be a feature ? Who asked for this ? Can it be disabled? Can it require a double-tap at the top of the screen to automatically scroll all the way up, rather than the lightest grazing from the underside of my finger as I hold the phone as I always have ? At this point, I’d gladly give up the top centimeter of screen (and the notch) to cease this frustration.

How can I stop my iPhone 11 from scrolling while typing? So i have an iPhone 11 and sometimes whenever i text someone, doesn't matter which app it automatically scrolls up as i press the letters on the keyboard, i'm wondering if this is a problem with the touchscreen or perhaps some hidden setting however im more inclined towards the first option, even then its always better to make things sure.

Hello Kasabian24,

There isn't a way to turn that off because it is not a "feature", it is just the way the software UI is designed.

If you would like to see Apple turn it into a feature/option that you can turn on and off, you can submit that suggestion through their feedback site here: Product Feedback

Cheers!
