Q: awkward use of apple pay

When I pull my credit card from Apple wallet, it asks to double click on the side button. However, 8 times out of 10 Add Friends glance appears. It is quite awkward to hold the line while trying to activate the card. Is there any way to disable Add Friends feature on apple watch?

Apple Watch 38mm, iOS 6.1.4

    Hi

     

    It is not possible to disable the process that opens Friends when you click once on the side button.

     

    For comparison / guidance purposes: in order to activate Apple Pay via the side button on Apple Watch, the double-click needs to be significantly quicker than the slower speeds at which a double-press on the iPhone's Home button causes previews of open apps to be displayed.

     

    To familiarise yourself with the required speed, you can practice launching this screen on your watch at any time. To exit back to the Home screen, press the Digital Crown once.
