A comment on Who Killed the Scrollbar?. Parent comment

iOS 13 has actually made the scrollbar into a first-class UI widget. You have to long-press on the scroll thumb while it's visible, but doing so gives you direct manipulation over it.

Thanks for pointing this out. Don’t think I would have figured that out.

"Don’t think I would have figured that out."

This, unfortunately, describes half the features of iOS. Apple is deeply in love with the undiscoverable UI - and then NOT DOCUMENTING it.

Drives me absolutely crazy.

This one is actually in the iOS 13 release notes you see when selecting Learn More in the software update screen.

That said, I stumbled across it by accident first.
