Product catalog product images mobile

On a desktop view in the catalog there is a function that start to scroll the images of a product when you hover over them with the mouse which works perfectly fine.

But in mobile we do not have the hoover function which means that the image scrolling is not used at all. I have not been able to find any examples of shops that do this but it feels like untapped potential.

Tapping a product image opens the pdp but long press etc have been considered.

A technical limitation we have is that only the first image is loaded from the start and during the mouse enter event we load the rest of the images and start scrolling so we do not know in before hand how many images might be available.

Or would this be a bad practice all together?
