When I go to any website using my Iphone 13, the cursor always moves to the top of the page when I am swiping through the page. I am running IOS 16.5. I have tried safari, windows edge and google chrome.
Is there something in settings that I can change? Is there a gesture I can use to prevent this problem?
If I cannot resolve this problem, I will need to stop using my Iphone to do web searches This behavior happens on all websites including Applevis.
If this topic has been covered in another post, please let me know. I searched Applevis and could not find a relevant post.
I don't have this problem on my desktop using google chrome.

Unfortunately
You will also experience this problem on all your other apps, unless you are one of the lucky ones. Please report it to Apple. They absolutely need to know this bug is driving people away from them. It is a severely annoying issue!
You can find other threads, starting with a search for "focus" in relatively rjecent posts.
Good luck.
Follow up on my original post:
I contacted Apple disability help. The assistant had me try a few things. Finally we decided to change my voice to the Australian siri voice. This seems to have at least reduced the occurrence of cursor jumping. Also there appears to be something on the screen indicating something is being pressed. It appears as circle. The engineers have a number of complaints on file. Maybe something will be done eventually.
Anyway I have what appears to be a temporary solutions.
What does the voice have to do with that?
Any answers to the question in the title?
Voice change:
I don't know, but it seems to have helped. I took the Apple support survey and explained that was not a satisfactory solution.
I have a feeling the problem will reoccur.
It did with me
There was some chat about siri versus alex and which solves the problem only it didn't, which soon came to light, well, voice.
