Please give us a complete sentence to consider. Note my correction above - don't use non-standard abbreviations on the forum. "Cuz" is not a word.

Where I come from we usually say "flipping through () phone", where () = his, her, my, their etc.

I don't see that scrolling is wrong, though.

I'd "scroll through" something specific (pictures, emails etc) on my phone.
