anyone else getting freezing when scrolling in the app? - Lemmy.world

I have had this happened on my iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 12.

I haven’t been getting this issue on Memmy.
It’s a Safari PWA bug
This is a known Safari bug. The trick is to lift your finger off the screen for a second and the issue will fix itself.
Although it is a safari bug, it’s still enough to keep me from using voyager. It’s too annoying and happens too frequently. Native apps just perform better.
Which native app are you using? I have a hard time finding anything that looks and works just as good as voyager (aside from this one annoying bug and a few more that got introduced in Sonoma).
Memmy has been the best of iOS apps I’ve tried. 90% as visually appealing as voyager in my opinion.
Voyager is coming to iOS as an app. It was just announced.
14 Pro Max on iOS 16.6 here and I rarely have the issue now. It happened more in earlier versions. It occurs 1-2 times per day still but not enough to negatively impact my experience. I do what others have been told to do which is wait a second or two and it fixes itself. Knowing it’s a Safari bug, I have faith it will be addressed at some point. I love this app too much to leave it for another just because of a tiny glitch that’s not addressable by the dev yet. Updates are insanely fast and full of new content and features. Sorry for the long response but I don’t see an issue ¯_(ツ)_/¯

On an iPhone 14, I’ve had this come up regularly. There are two reasons that I think are causing it.

  • The vertical touch interaction is blocked or disabled temporarily. The solution that works for me is to swipe an item left or right to either reset or re-enable scrolling and touch gestures. Then the vertical scrolling will work again.

  • The feed load time - when the swiping left or right fix doesn’t work, it generally seems like it’s because the page is waiting to load and update additional items. I can see this happening more often when I’m on a slow network connection and then on fast Wi-Fi it’s just a slight pause and the feed loads.

  • Upvote or downvote something then undo it and you can get scrolling again. It works for me every time
