Fingerprint scanner scrolling

Just a wild thought, is it possible to scroll up and down by swiping up and down on the fingerprint sensor?

@gagge1000 as far as I know, it's not possible. also I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that convenient with the sensor's placement. some time ago I tried some app that would pull down the notification bar when you tapped the sensor, and only used it for an hour or two. too much accidental presses

Hi @gagge1000, that is a really really good suggestion, that would be really cool to have!

There is no setting in the device that will let you do this, I however have requested some more information regarding fingerprint gestures in general and I will make sure to get back to you as soon as I receive this information and I will make sure to forward this internally as user feedback!

Thank you for the reply Jonas. I am glad you took it into consideration. It would be nice to be able to do that as you could scroll without blocking any view from your scrolling finger..

Hi again @gagge1000, You're very welcome!

That is exactly what popped into my head as well when I read your suggestion, no more finger on the screen when I just want to scroll down in a social media feed or similar!

Thanks again and have a great day!
