iPhone X using details

Dear Community,

I'd like to set up my iPhone X using double tap (touch) to the locked screen for wake, because one touch to the screen offen come to undesirable causes such are: casual opening of programs during putting the phone in the pocket; casual ringing to different contacts being the phone in the pocket etc.

I fulfilled all consecutive steps in the phone "Settings": I swiched on "Tap to Wake" then "Assistive Touch", then there is the list below "sigle-tap; double-tap; triple-tap...", so inside of "double-tap" there is also another list of commands where it is "Lock Screen" (more commands connected with "screen" I coudn't find). I clicked the command but it's not functioning, the locked screen is waking with one touch again.


Please, inform me the detailed instruction and description how to set up a double-tap screen waking only (but not with one-tap).


Thank you in advance

iPhone X, iOS 16

Setting Assistive touch to activate the lock screen with a double tap (or single or triple) just locks the screen. It has no effect on waking the screen. To the best of my knowledge there is no way to change the fact that, if you touch the screen once, it wakes. It still requires that you swipe up to unlock it. That means, unless you tap a notification, the only things you can really do from the lock screen itself is turn on the flashlight or take a picture.
