Unable to turn off Confirm with AssistiveTouch (Apple Watch)

I enabled Confirm with AssistiveTouch under Side button confirmation on my Apple Watch but now I can’t toggle off even though I switched off AssistTouch.


i can’t make payment on my Apple Watch now by double clicking my side button.


It’s driving me crazy, any way to resolve this? Thanks

I had the same problem. Could not disable "Confirm with Assistive Touch" in the watch app on the phone.

You can toggle it, but is just does not disable it, if you leave the "Assistive Touch" screen and open it again the setting is on Enabled again. Drove me nuts..


I was able to disable the option in the Settings App on the Watch itself.

Goto Settings -> Accessibility -> AssistiveTouch It is the last option in that screen.


You may need to turn off and on the watch after this step to complete it.

You should now get the "hold near the reader" message again after double press on button.


Hope it helps..
