How can I fix the issue of the background scrolling on iOS instead of staying fixed in the mobile view on Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Set the element's Position to Fixed in Webflow's Style panel and adjust relative positioning as needed.
  • Ensure the Background Attachment is set to Fixed in the settings.
  • Test styles in Webflow's Mobile View and adjust accordingly for smoother functionality.
  • Add custom CSS in Project Settings for better iOS compatibility using position: fixed;.
  • Test behavior on actual iOS devices or tools like BrowserStack.

Background scrolling on iOS can be problematic if you expect it to stay fixed. Here’s how to address this issue in Webflow.

​

1. Set Position Property Properly

  • Select the element that you want to be fixed in the Designer.
  • Go to the Style panel and set the Position property to Fixed.
  • Ensure it is positioned relative to the Body or another enclosing element.

​

2. Adjust Background Attachment

  • If Background scrolling is the issue, check the Background image settings.
  • Ensure the Background Attachment is set to Fixed in the Style settings.

​

3. Adjust Webflow's Mobile View Setting

  • Check Webflow's Mobile View: Test how Webflow interprets the element in its mobile views and adjust styles accordingly to achieve the desired effect.

  

4. Use Custom Code for Better Support

  • Consider adding custom CSS as some properties might not work perfectly across iOS devices.
  • Use position: fixed; within Webflow's Custom Code section in Project Settings to ensure the positioning is fixed.

​

5. Test on Actual Devices

  • Test the behavior on actual iOS devices to confirm that the settings work as expected.
  • Use tools like BrowserStack or similar if you don’t have an iOS device.

​

Summary

To fix the background scrolling issue on iOS in Webflow, ensure that the Position is set to Fixed and check the Background Attachment setting. If needed, incorporate custom CSS in the project settings for better compatibility.
