iPhone will not scroll down (fixed)

Hi warrenEBB,

While you have found a workaround this isn't expected behavior. You can double-check your motion and accessibility settings with the help of the articles below, and adjust to test.

Try my workaround that I posted as a reply on this same thread.

This has not been resolved! I called Apple and they said it doesn’t happen all the time so it’s ok. But when I open a contact I can not scroll up more than a cm, when I do the contacts information has gone. The only way around it is going out of the contact and then back in💁. Didn’t happen on my 13 so didn’t expect it on the 15 pro.

I have this problem and it’s so frustrating. I thought it was because i have and SE so smaller screen. That said I’ve got default screen zoom selected anyhow so I think it might be that some apps are designed for bigger screens and developers forget that others might just have smaller screens.

I found a technique that works! At least it did for me in this scenario…. So, when I pinched the side of the screen to reduce the overall display of the webpage, I could see the button at the bottom. But when I let go of the pinch, the screen snapped back to a larger size, and I could no longer see the button I needed to press.

What I did was a screen search for whatever the button is called, like “next” or “submit”. The search bar says it finds 1 of 1 words, meaning the it found the word on the button (assuming it’s the only time that word shows up on that page). The search also highlights the word, right? Or typically it should. So with that searched word found, I leave that alone and then v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y pinched the side of the screen, just enough so it would shrink the page enough for me to see the top part of the highlighted word. Most of the time when I let go of the pinch it snapped back. But every now and then it would barely stay open, as if the software is trying its best to show you the highlighted word. As long as I could see the top part of the highlight, then I could press on that and the whole button would depress as well. Whew!

Not a fix, but a workaround. I still want it fixed permanently so this technique isn’t needed. It’s very tedious and time-consuming. But at least I could access the button in a pinch (pun intended!). Good luck.

I have been having the same problem while trying to type an email, very frustrating. I am using the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I accidentally found the answer (hopefully) by turning my iphone on its side giving you more screen space, its working so far…

Can’t stroll down on my iPhone 14+

What worked for me was I click on the three dots at the bottom hit Zoom text then a (- +) pops up at the top hit the Minus - and the screen will get smaller revealing the hidden sections you couldn’t view before. I hope this helps someone.

I was having trouble also. First thing I did was put the tab bar at the bottom. That worked. Irritated me, so I dragged the page up with 2 fingers and it stayed up.

Might want to give that a try. I just got my new 15.

Had the same issue, I followed your response and all works fine now for me. Thanks!!
