Description

When a FlatList has both scrollsToTop and inverted enabled, tapping on the iOS status bar scrolls to the bottom of the list, which isn't a behavior I've seen in any native apps. It would be great if this was either changed or it was possible to do e.g. scrollsToBottom={true} or scrollsToTopDirection={'inverted'}.

Reproducible Demo

Expo Snack

This has been an annoying UX issue since I started using React Native ~10 months ago, would be a really great fix for being able to quickly scroll to the top of a chat screen or other inverted screens!

It seems to me that you are using Expo, so I suggest you open a dedicated issue there 🤷‍♂️

Our can you reproduce on a new react-native init project with 0.57.2?

Tested with the same code from the snack on a new react-native init (0.57.4) and still have the issue that scrollsToTop scrolls to the bottom

Have you found any workaround while it's getting fixed?
