Anyway to increase scroll speed on iphone?

[gorcorps]

I just got an iphone 6 for work, but I'm an android user. I'm finding the scrolling on the iphone to be annoyingly slow in comparison. It doesn't seem to respond to how fast I swipe, and acts like it's "heavier" with a lot more friction comparatively... so I'm swiping a ton just to scroll down lists and web pages. Is there anything I can do to change this? I haven't found anything in settings but I may not know where everything is.

The faster/more frequently you swipe, the faster it scrolls. Maybe check Settings > Accessibility, but you'd be more likely to find a setting that will slow it down, rather than speed it up.

I couldn't find anything. Searching around I see it's a common complaint from people used to Android, so it's just something I'm going to have to deal with. I didn't realize it was so different.

I noticed it too when I moved over. It didn't really bother me too much cause speed scrolling really isn't my thing. I think the only real problem I have with the iPhone is that I cannot drag and drop music without itunes. I miss not being able to plug my android into any computer and dragging some MP3's over. I have since gotten over it.

It's important to do a full swipe down, the whole length of the screen, it helps a bit, and to go up in Safari, touch above the address bar and it'll pop to the top of the page.

But yes, in general, it's slower.

Yeah I remember that. Ironically, that was something I liked about the iphones that I missed when I went to Android and had to adjust to it. Back then though I'm 99% sure there was a scroll bar on my iPhone 4 which made getting through long lists easy. I don't remember scrolling being like this when I had my iPhone, but that was 4ish years ago.
