How to Turn On and Use Air Scroll in Oppo Phones
Oppo is a popular smartphone brand and offers its users advanced features like “Air Scroll”, which is part of its air gesture functionality. This feature allows you to control scrolling (up or down) in supported apps like YouTube and Instagram and manage calls (answer or mute) by waving your hand near the camera without touching the screen.
By default, this feature is disabled on Oppo phones, and you’ll need to enable it whenever you want to use it. To use it, your hand should be approximately 20-40 centimeters away from the front camera.
This feature is not available on all Oppo devices. Oppo’s Air Scroll (Air Gesture) feature is available on several recently launched Oppo smartphones, particularly those in the Reno series, the F series, and the flagship Find X series. If you use any of these phones, you can activate this feature by following the steps below.
