Can fitness apps use the Fingerprint Reader on the Google Nexus 5X as a heart rate monitor.

[AC Question]

Hello,
I am looking at buying the Google Nexus 5X, and im in to my fitness, so will download a fitness app, and was wondering if like on the Samsung Galaxy S6 the S Health App can measure heart rate through the fingerprint reader, whether the Google Nexus 5X can do the same or not.

Thanks

Unfortunately not, they are two different types of sensors.
