Infinite Scroll

A feed design that loads more content as the user approaches the end, removing the clear stopping point created by pages.

UNDERSTAND IT

The useful mental model.

Start with the part that changes what you actually do or expect when you meet this concept in everyday digital life.

KEY IDEA 01Infinite scroll changes navigation from choosing the next page to continuing the same stream.
KEY IDEA 02The design can reduce friction for discovery while making session boundaries less obvious.
KEY IDEA 03Not every endless feed uses the same ranking system; scrolling behavior and recommendation logic are separate layers.

Why the design matters

Small interface choices can remove stopping points, surface social signals or make a return action easier. That changes behavior without changing the underlying content.

What you can control

Look for notification, autoplay, focus, visibility and recommendation settings before assuming the feature is fixed.

SOURCES

Check the underlying references.

G7 prioritizes primary technical documentation, public-interest institutions and strong research. Product-specific behavior can change, so current service documentation remains important.
