Download Auto Scroll
The short answer
iPhone and iPad do not have one universal auto-scroll switch for every app. For Safari web pages, the practical option is a Safari extension. Auto Scroll | Web adds a small control for starting, pausing, and adjusting page movement inside Safari.
How to set it up
- Install Auto Scroll | Web from the App Store.
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Go to Safari, then Extensions.
- Turn on AutoScroll | Web.
- Open the long page in Safari, tap the extensions button, and start auto-scroll.
If nothing moves at first, reload the page or fully quit Safari once and reopen it. Some sites also require you to allow the extension for that website.
Where it helps most
Keep a steady reading pace without nudging the screen every few seconds.
Let the page move while your hands are busy cooking, fixing, comparing, or practicing.
Skim long reference pages, support threads, changelogs, and community discussions more calmly.
Use a slower pace for vertical pages and pause when a section needs more time.
What to know before using it
- It works in Safari pages, not every native app.
- Some pages may need a reload after you enable the extension.
- Speed control is the main feature; Pro adds deeper controls for long sessions.
- Browsing history and usage history are not collected or transmitted.
