How to use Confirm with Assistive Touch when Apple Pay is not available

Hi, this question might sound very stupid, but I’ve spent an hour trying to set up “confirm with assistive touch” to download apps from the App Store (instead of double clicking the top button) and this is sooo frustrating because there is no guide whatsoever.


The only video on YouTube showing what should I do with the assistive touch to confirm is showing it using the Apple Pay button. But Apple Pay is not available in my country, so that button does not exist in my assistive touch.


So what now? What do I with my assistive touch to confirm Face ID because I don’t want to double click on the top button?


Device is iPad Pro 2020 11 inch.


Help is very appreciated. Thank you.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Hey there, my friend! I also struggled with this a while ago, but I was able to figure it out!


First, have the Assistive Touch enabled. Then, click the download button in the App Store. Next, click the Assistive Touch, select "Device," click "More," and there, you would see the "Apple Pay" button. Click that, then click "Confirm Apple Pay" witht the Face ID icon above it.


It's such a hassle, I know right?? XD But Yeah, hope I was able to be of a help!! Have a good day! :))

im trying to set up assistive touch for Apple Pay because i have a muscular disease which makes me basically have the strength of a gold fish so I can’t press the side buttons, I try to set up the assistive touch for Apple Pay however it’s never works and always still asks me to double click the side button which I cant do. Because the Apple Pay assistive touch is bugged And apple has almost no support to tell them about the bug. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I opened up the floating "assistive touch" icon then hit "device' the "more" and finally "Apple Pay".

What shows up is a picture of an Apple Card with the square w/Face and the words "Confirm with Assistivetouch"

Nothing happens unless open up the floating "assistive touch" icon and the process starts all over again.

help, i'm trying to download a free app.
