Okay, so please tell me I’m not the only iPhone owner who’s had an iPhone for literally years…and never knew this super basic time-saving iPhone trick.

If you’ve been scrolling, scrolling, scrolling to the bottom of a social feed to find out who’s saying what about a trending hashtag, to the bottom of a juicy threaded comment section, or the bottom of a fascinating if lengthy article, no need to go scrolling, scrolling scrolling all the way back to the top again.

Now go forth and save some of that energy your right thumb has been exerting. It’s got many good days ahead of it.
