Quickly Scroll to the Top of the Page on iPhone or iPod Touch

Tap ScrollI just learned a neat little trick on the iPhone and wanted to share it with you. You must have noticed that when you use your iPhone or iPod Touch to browse/read any lengthy pages and wanted to get back to the top of the page you might be scrolling page by page to get to the top. Not anymore, you can just tap at the iPhone Title Bar to scroll all the way to the top of the page automatically.

The tap scroll is quick and handy thing to remember if you normally read lengthy pages on your iPhone.

    I believe this has been available since 2.0, I could be wrong, but I have been using it every day. Since it works with most apps not just Safari. Give it a try with the iPod app sure comes handy when you have a long list if songs or artist.

      Thanks Jorge, I didn't realize it worked with that as well. One of those cool things most people know about.

    Hey guy's here's something that's really cool: On the Droid there's no need for little "tricks" like this, since there are dedicated buttons that bring you right to the URL entry. How do you like them apples?

    I discovered it accidently; I have long nails, and hit the top with my nail when tapping something with my finger, I thought I was going to have to start ALLover again, but was surprised and very happy with my findings … lol
