Realme has started rolling out a Smooth Scrolling feature for its Realme UI custom Android software to its users. This feature will allow for a visually smoother and faster effect while scrolling upwards and downwards. Realme says that the new feature will be most prominent for sites and apps that have infinite scrolling, like Facebook and Twitter. A part of the Realme Lab project, the Smooth Scrolling feature will soon be rolled out in stages to all phones running the Realme UI.

Realme said in a forum post that Smooth Scrolling will enable the content you're looking at to scroll faster. With just one swipe upwards, the scrolling reaches further down the page and stops much later than earlier, with a smoother scrolling animation. As per a side-by-side video comparison (with the feature turned on and off) shared by the company on the post, it is noticeable that the scrolling is more sensitive when Smooth Scrolling is turned on. As mentioned, the effect will be more enhanced while scrolling through apps with endless feeds such as Facebook or Twitter.

The Smooth Scrolling feature can be used by tapping on Settings > realme Lab and turning on Smooth Scrolling.
