The iPhone's "Back to Top" gesture is useful: Easily deal with dynamic islands

iPhones have long provided a convenient “back to top” gesture: Just tap the top of the screen to quickly get back to the top of long text, email, or web pages. However, iPhone models equipped with Dynamic Island, such as the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 series, make this gesture slightly tricky.

The Dynamic Island is located at the top of the screen and integrates a camera, microphone, and real-time information display for various applications (such as music playback, timer, or navigation). The problem is that when users habitually touch the top of the screen, it is easy to accidentally touch the dynamic island, thereby accidentally switching to the application displayed in the dynamic island rather than returning to the top of the page.

So, how do you use the "Back to Top" gesture on iPhone Dynamic Island models and avoid mist touching? Here are two simple methods:

Method 1: Touch the clock or battery icon

Simply tap the clock icon in the upper left corner of the top of the screen or the battery icon in the upper right corner to activate the Back to Top feature without accidentally switching apps. This is the easiest way to use the Back to Top gesture on a Dynamic Island model.

Method 2: Close the dynamic island first, then touch

Another method is to first slide the dynamic island itself left and right to close the application information displayed in the dynamic island, and then directly touch the dynamic island area.

This approach may be more intuitive for users who are used to touching on the top of the screen, but is slightly less efficient as an additional step of action is required to turn off the dynamic island.
