Try this JS solution that toggles webkitOverflowScrolling style  The trick here is that this style is off  mobile Safari goes to ordinary scrolling and prevents over-bounce     alas  it is not able to cancel ongoing drag  This complex solution also tracks onscroll as bounce over the top makes scrollTop negative that may be tracked  This solution was tested on iOS 12 1 1 and has single drawback  while accelerating the scroll single over-bounce still happens as resetting the style may not cancel it immediately   function preventScrollVerticalBounceEffect container      setTouchScroll true       enable before the first scroll attempt    container addEventListener  touchstart   onTouchStart    container addEventListener  touchmove   onTouch    passive  false      container addEventListener  touchend   onTouchEnd    container addEventListener  scroll   onScroll     function isTouchScroll         return   container style webkitOverflowScrolling        let prevScrollTop   0  prevTouchY  opid   0    function setTouchScroll on        container style webkitOverflowScrolling   on    touch    null        Hint  auto-enabling after a small pause makes the start        smoothly accelerated as required  After the pause the        scroll position is settled  and there is no delta to        make over-bounce by dragging the finger  But still         accelerated content makes short single over-bounce        as acceleration may not be off instantly       const xopid     opid      on  amp  amp  setTimeout      gt   xopid     opid   amp  amp  setTouchScroll true   250       if  on  amp  amp  container scrollTop  lt  16        container scrollTop   0     prevScrollTop   container scrollTop        function isBounceOverTop         const dY   container scrollTop - prevScrollTop     return dY  lt  0  amp  amp  container scrollTop  lt  16        function isBounceOverBottom touchY        const dY   touchY - prevTouchY        Hint  trying to bounce over the bottom  the finger moves        up the screen  thus Y becomes smaller  We prevent this       return dY  lt  0  amp  amp  container scrollHeight - 16  lt         container scrollTop   container offsetHeight        function onTouchStart e        prevTouchY   e touches 0  pageY        function onTouch e        const touchY   e touches 0  pageY      if isBounceOverBottom touchY           if isTouchScroll            setTouchScroll false        e preventDefault              prevTouchY   touchY        function onTouchEnd         prevTouchY   undefined        function onScroll         if isTouchScroll    amp  amp  isBounceOverTop            setTouchScroll false

To prevent scrolling on modern mobile browsers you need to add the passive  false  I had been pulling my hair out getting this to work until I found this solution  I have only found this mentioned in one other place on the internet    x000D   x000D  function preventDefault e   x000D      e preventDefault    x000D    x000D   x000D  function disableScroll    x000D      document body addEventListener  touchmove   preventDefault    passive  false     x000D    x000D  function enableScroll    x000D      document body removeEventListener  touchmove   preventDefault   x000D    x000D   x000D   x000D

I know this is slightly off-piste but I ve been using Swiffy to convert Flash into an interactive HTML5 game and came across the same scrolling issue but found no solutions that worked   The problem I had was that the Swiffy stage was taking up the whole screen  so as soon as it had loaded  the document touchmove event was never triggered   If I tried to add the same event to the Swiffy container  it was replaced as soon as the stage had loaded   In the end I solved it  rather messily  by applying the touchmove event to every DIV within the stage  As these divs were also ever-changing  I needed to keep checking them   This was my solution  which seems to work well  I hope it s helpful for anyone else trying to find the same solution as me   var divInterval   setInterval updateDivs 50   function updateDivs        swiffycontainer  gt  div   bind       touchmove        function e            e preventDefault
