Maintain scroll position
AddyEdwin
If you have a list of items, and clicking on an item takes you to another detail screen, and then you click on the 'back' button on that screen, you automatically jump back to the top of the list instead of being on the item you had clicked.
Maintaining the scroll position is very important for those apps which have numerous items, and scrolling down every time after clicking on a detail page seems like a bug that could probably be addressed easily, and should be.

Hey team, I have built an events app with over 100 events. It's terrible UX for users to go back to the first event on the screen if they click back. Hope we can have this as an update soon!
Wilhelm Löwe
It seems to be resolved with the new responsive features. Just made a quick test and it worked! Thanks soooo much!

Wilhelm Löwe: how did you do it?
Wilhelm Löwe
Reyvant Tambi: I did, nothing, it just remains the scroll position in new apps that are responsive, at least in my test.

Wilhelm Löwe: in the PWA or native app?
Wilhelm Löwe
Reyvant Tambi: It only seems to be working in Desktop Apps, on mobile it still loses scroll position.
Timo Fischer
Wilhelm Löwe: for me this doesnt work in the PWA. I tested several transition types. After coming back from the detail modal the list always scrolls back to top.
Wilhelm Löwe
Timo Fischer: it only works in desktop browser. We need more people to vote on this! 🧐
Timo Fischer
Wilhelm Löwe: I use a "Desktop browser". It doesn't work there either for me.
Wilhelm Löwe
Timo Fischer: i will make a Short video of my App where it works Beginning of next week
Timo Fischer
Wilhelm Löwe: Thanks so much. It would be really interesting to see the difference. E.g. is it only on custom lists with drop down filters that I use etc.
Wilhelm Löwe
Timo Fischer: I tested again and it works on chrome, firefox, brave and safari on mac and in safari on iOS. It seems either to be depending on the particular settings or the „bug“ has been resolved … or it just happens random? Here’s a desktop screen capture: https://www.loom.com/share/b5ae6c7d9bd1470c9c82e7f8725862f1
Timo Fischer
Wilhelm Löwe: thanks Wilhelm Löwe. It always goes back to top for me. I will check if its the dropdown filters, that I use. Perhaps they are triggering a new data load. They also often lose the selected value before going to the detail page when coming back. I will let you know, but it's great to know that it can work :)
Timo Fischer
Wilhelm Löwe so I tested again. For me this works exactly as in your example but only as long as you don't use authentication in the web app. If you log into your app and the list is on the homescreen then the screen always moves back to top after the modal. If I define the screen as welcome screen (as in your example) and dont login at all, then it works. So somehow the authentication check seem s to change the viewpoint, unfortunately in a real world setting you need authentication. And if you use paginated lists it doesnt work at all, when you scroll beyond page 2 as the data beyond page 1 is not there anymore when you come back from the modal.

Please implement this! This feature is instrumental for any app with either a long product list, or a feed-based experience.

Hey 👋 is there any update on this? It is really a pain scrolling lists, going to detail screens and losing position when coming back to the list … waiting for two years now.

This really is a must have feature for any apps using user generated content.
By far the biggest complaint I've been getting from users
