As the world continues to become more reliant on the internet, people will spend more time doomscrolling.
Of course, if you have an iPhone, you will definitely be tempted to scroll on your device.
You are either doom-scrolling on social media apps or just reading very long email messages.
There are some instances when you will be needing to scroll back up. However, it would take a lot of time to do so.
Luckily, iOS has one solution for this, which is its screen gesture.
You're Probably Scrolling Your iPhone the Wrong Way
CNET said that scrolling back up is not really the right way to do so. Instead, you can return to the top section with just a tap on the screen.
