Apple Pay opening when near another phone

I have two phones in my pocket, one for work and one for personal use. My personal phone keeps opening apple pay without me double clicking. Really annoying. Anyone else having this problem? Need to be able to turn this off! Both are iPhones (work phone does not have apple pay, so that's why it can't open on that phone).

Magnifier opening instead of Apple Pay iPhone 8+ 14.4.2 Apple Pay very inconsistent at opening using the double tap on the home button leading to embarrassment at tills. Often the magnifier opens instead of Apple Pay even though it’s not on the control panel. It was on it but I removed it from there and then turned the phone completely off then back on again. Still same issue. Has this been experienced by anyone else? Is there any way of getting the Apple Pay from within the app (ie opened phone) as opposed to from the Lock Screen even if you still need passcode or fingerprint to confirm payment? cheers

Apple Pay with broken side button Seen this question before but not any resolution. iPhone 12 with broken side button: how to make Apple Pay work? all the proposals on using Accessibility does not work as they require double click on side button to confirm 🤯. What a catch-22! anyone?

Apple Pay opens without prompting on iPhone 12 Why does Apple Pay open on my (work) iPhone 12 when it's next to my other (personal) iPhone 12? Specifically, the work iPhone only opens Apply pay when my personal iPhone 12 is on top of it. No side button is pressed and no Face ID opens the phone. There is, however, a magnet in the case of my personal iPhone which is used to dock it on my car dashboard when driving. Could that be activating my Apple pay function of my work iPhone? This was never an issue when I had an iPhone 7 for personal and work phones.
