Get scrollTop() while scrolling on iPad/iPhone

Question

I'm trying to get the scrollTop() value while scrolling a website on the iPad/iPhone.

$(window).scroll(function(){
    console.log($(window).scrollTop());
});

I'm using this code for normal desktop browsers. On Safari with the Mac the console shows every pixel while scrolling. But on the iPad, I only get the value when the scrolling stops.

How can I get every scrollTop value while scrolling even on the iPad?

Answer 1

Have you tried the following?

$(document).on( 'scroll', function(){
  var currentPosition = $(window).scrollTop();
  console.log(currentPosition);
});

Answer 2

This limitation changed in iOS 8

This continues to log $(window).scrollTop() after touchend while the inertia/bounce effect is running:

$(document).on( 'scroll', function(){
console.log($(window).scrollTop());});
