Possibly a simple one!

Does anyone know how to get the scroll bar of a UIScrollView to constantly show?

It displays when the user is scrolling, so they can see what position of the scroll view they are in.

BUT I would like it to constantly show because it is not immediately obvious to the user that scrolling is available

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

No, you can't make them always show, but you can make them temporarily flash.

[myScrollView flashScrollIndicators];

They are scroll indicators, not scroll bars. You can't use them to scroll.
