How can I change my settings to confirm that I want to download a new app when my side button is broken? I’m using assistive touch, but can’t make the change to allow app purchase confirmations to be controlled by assistive touch without confirming that I want to do that using the side button
Hi Tmirl,
Similar to what kareng12 said, you might be able to fix your issue by disabling Face ID or Touch ID (whichever your phone has) for iTunes and App Store purchases. To do this, complete the following steps:
If I am remembering correctly, there should just be an "Install" button at the bottom of the screen when you go to download an app now, instead of prompting you to use the side button.
Hope this helps!

Get it fixed.
Hello Tmirl,
We'd love to assist you with changing your options for downloading apps from the App Store. Although it may not provide an option to turn off the side button, does it allow you to enter your account password instead when downloading the apps?
Best Regards
App download w/ broken side button
