Yes, there is a way to fix scroll interactions not working on iPhones without changing the design using custom code in Webflow. Here's what you can do:

  1. Distinguish between Mac desktop browsers and iPhones: Scroll interactions may not work as expected on iPhones due to differences in how touch screens handle scrolling compared to desktop browsers. To address this, you can use media queries with CSS to target iPhones specifically.

  2. Disable overflow scrolling on iPhones: iPhones have built-in inertia scrolling, which can interfere with scroll interactions in Webflow. To prevent this, you can set the overflow-scrolling CSS property to auto or touch for the iPhone screen size using media queries. This will allow Webflow scroll interactions to take effect without interference from the default inertia scrolling behavior on iPhones.

  3. Implement custom jQuery code: If the above solutions don't work, you can add custom jQuery code to fix the scroll interactions on iPhones. Here's an example of the code you can use:

$(document).ready(function() {  var is_iPhone = navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPhone') !== -1;  if (is_iPhone) {    $(window).on('touchmove', function() {      // Your scroll interactions code here    });  }});

This code checks if the device being used is an iPhone and if so, adds a touch move event listener to the window, allowing you to implement your scroll interactions.

By implementing these solutions, you can fix scroll interactions not working on iPhones without needing to change the design or resort to custom code in Webflow.
