In-display fingerprint unlock leads to false app launch

Every time I use the screen fingerprint to unlock my phone it launches an app directly underneath the screen fingerprint reader on the home screen. Which can be very annoying.

To solve the problem there should be an optional delay after you unlock with the screen fingerprint to prevent the accidental launch of apps on the home screen.

This delay could be an option under the fingerprint scanner settings for a delay of between 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds.
During this delay period the screen would not allow the accidental launch of any app with your finger.

With this delay in place you could unlock your phone with the screen fingerprint scanner without the accidental launch of an app on the home screen.
