Safari jumps to the top of the previous page

I have seen a couple of other discussions on here about this, but nothing seems to fix it.

When I am using Safari (iPhone iOS 15.4) any time I hit the back button, it brings me to the top of the previous page instead of where I left off. This is particularly annoying when using google search. I don’t remember this always being the case, and I feel that this is only been recent (within the last few months).

I have tried the private/non private tabs, deleting Safari data/history, force closing Safari, and nothing.

Is there a setting I am missing?

I had the same problem was driving me crazy.

I manage to fix it when I moved the search/address bar to the bottom of the screen.

I found if the address bar was at the top it would alway scroll to the top when I went back a page. But when the address was at the bottom when I go back a page it would stay in the same place I was last at.

In the address bar you just need to tap on the aA to adjust

I don’t think it’s a Goggle issue. I have the issue on webpages (like CNN), as well.

These are all workarounds. Please try not to post these workarounds. They are not fixes.

Wrong, mine has been at the bottom since launch and this behavior is the same. You don’t think this has already been mentioned in this entire thread?

I’ve called Apple. Others have too about this. They’ve done nothing. Having the search bar at the bottom as a fix even if it was a fix is the kind of workaround that drives me crazy.

That does not work. It still returns to the top of the search results.
