Double-Click side button usage for Apple Pay

This user tip has two parts. Part one is for the Double-Click side button settings in Wallet & Apple Pay. Part two is for turning off the Double-Click requirement when paying using Apple Pay. Part two has two methods with multiple paths in settings which I have explained and provided photos for. This information applies to iPhone X and later (any phone with Face ID) Double-Click side button usage for Apple … - Apple Community

Part one

What does the Double-Click side button setting do?

In Wallet & Apple Pay there is an option to turn on Double-Click side button or turn it off. If it is on you can pull up cards and passes before you get to the terminal. Turning off Double-Click side button will not allow you to get cards and passes ready early.

This feature is not related to the requirement of Double-Clicking to confirm your payment. (see part two below)

To verify what this does;

1. Turn it off.
2. Go to your Home Screen and attempt to double-click side button. You will notice that the device goes to sleep.
3. Turn it on.
4. Go to your Home Screen and double-click the side button. You will notice that Wallet app is now open and ready for payment.

Part two
