Hi A_ramon13,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.
We understand your Side button is being pressed. Check that there isn't dirt or debris lodged around the button that could be causing this.
iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation), iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7
Clean your iPhone immediately if it comes in contact with anything that might cause stains or other damage — for example, dirt or sand, ink, makeup, soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods, or lotions. Follow these guidelines:
* Unplug all cables and turn off your iPhone.
* Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth — for example, a lens cloth.
* Avoid getting moisture in openings.
* Don’t use cleaning products unless following the instructions for disinfecting your iPhone.
* Don't use compressed air.
Your iPhone has a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic — oil repellent — coating. On iPhone 8 and later, the coating is on the front and back. This coating wears over time with normal use. Cleaning products and abrasive materials will further diminish the coating and might scratch your iPhone.
