Twitter fixes 'auto-scrolling' bug that drove the internet mad

Twitter wants you to know that it's listening.

The social media company announced Tuesday that, after an infuriating few days, it has finally fixed an iOS app bug that was driving its users bonkers. For the blissfully unaware, the bug would randomly scroll Twitter feeds — causing people to lose their place while right in the middle of staring into the digital abyss.

Thankfully, no more. According to a tweet from the Twitter Support account, the brief torture of having our precious feed toyed with before our very eyes has come to an end.

"A fix for the auto-scrolling bug is rolling out now," wrote whoever is behind the account. "Thanks for your patience while we worked on this. Please update your iOS app to version 8.1.5 when it becomes available for you."
