These solutions did not work for me. I know someone mentioned mobile detection but their approach did not work for me. It finally dawned on me to use mobile detection to deliver two different CSS styles for each case. Maybe not ideal but it for sure works. Temporarily changing the styles with js also suggested above did not work for me.

I had a two column layout with independently scrolling divs, each set to overflow:scroll and the body had to be set to overflow:hidden. I need to use scrollTop on one of the columns and no solutions worked.

I used wp_is_mobile() (Wordpress function) and if mobile true, overflow: hidden is removed from body and the divs with overflow:scroll have that css removed. Finally, scrollTop worked on mobile.
