Apple pay on an SE phone.

I have an iphone SE. You can't double click on button because it locks the phone. Is there any other way to use Apple Pay? Thanks

iPhone 6, iOS 10

It sounds like you’re double clicking too slow to activate Apple Pay and Apple Wallet. The speed of the double click can be adjusted in Accessibility.

Please follow the path below,

iPhone > Settings app > Accessibility > Side Button > CLICK SPEED > try slow and slowest.

Please post a reply if you encounter any challenges adjusting the click speed or other issues.

Hi Jeff, thanks for the input. I adjusted the click speed but the phone still locks on the first click (I click quickly). Someone told me that perhaps you can't do it with a SE phone because he has a newer model and it works fine.
