I have a button that allows the UITextView to automatically scroll + 10 pixels in an NSTimer loop: scrollPoint = CGPointMake(scrollPoint.x, scrollPoint.y + 10); [textView setContentOffset:scrollPoint animated:YES]; This works really well, as the animation makes the scroll rather smooth. ...

It looks like I would be fine with simply overriding touchesEnded:withEvent and checking [[touches anyObject] tapCount] == 1 , however this event doesn't even fire.
