Description
Expected behaviour
When opening the log file, the most recent entries should be visible.
Actual behaviour
The top of the log file is visible, which in my case is 2 months old.
Steps to reproduce
- More
- Settings
- Advanced
- View Log file
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
Proposed solution: automatically scroll to the bottom of the file when opening the viewer.
Indeed, I could clear the log file.
However, the logs I want to view are already written, so I would have needed to remember to clear the logs before the interesting event occurred. This is somewhat unreasonable I think.
Also, I know that you can long press the scroll bar for faster scrolling.
Still, with my huge log file it's kinda slow to render. And it still takes user effort. By automatically scrolling to the bottom, I can make the device do my work (=the scrolling) for me :)

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the iOS app through More, Settings, Advanced, and View Log file, then locate the log viewer entry point. Done means opening a large log displays the most recent entries at the bottom instead of the oldest entries at the top.
