Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for selectively activating a fingerprint sensor in an electronic device. A method that may be performed by the electronic device includes detecting a finger hover above the display module, activating the fingerprint sensor based, at least in part, on the detected finger hover, and providing, in response to detecting the finger hover, feedback information to assist in scanning the finger using the fingerprint sensor.
