Double-click the side button Doesn’t work after the last update!!

Thank you for the follow up!

Does the side button work fine when performing it’s other duties? I.e., locking the device, performing pre-setup shortcuts by triple-clicking it. If not, learn what to do if a button or switch isn't working.

If the side button works fine for performing the other tasks I mentioned, please ensure that your device is fully updated.

If your device is fully updated, try performing a Forced Restart.

If that doesn’t help, please see askbarnabas’ User Tip: Double-Click side button usage for Apple … - Apple Community

In addition, some users have found that trying different click speeds fixes this problem:

Go to: Settings > Accessibility > Side Button. Now, at the very top of the page, you will see: CLICK SPEED. Adjust this and then try to perform the function you’re having issues performing. See screenshot:

If you’re still having issues with using the side button for making purchases, please Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support.

If you’re trying to make online In-App Purchases, and you see: “Purchase could not be completed”, please review the very helpful reply by Raicya in this thread: your purchase could not be completed - Apple Community.

If that’s the case, your side button works just fine, and you have an issue with your payment method/s.

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

Hello rawanasha!

It may be that this setting is turned off. Please go to:

Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay. Now, check if the “Double-Click Side Button” switch is turned ON.

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
