how do i download iphone apps with new side double click Trying to download an app from App Store, 2nd app that wants me to confirm by side slider double click. id never had that until last few weeks. I see the line on the side & it says confirm by double click on the side. I tried tapping twice. Not familiar with how to click using iPhone 14. what am I missing? Tried tapping twice but that doesn’t seem to be what it wants. Got a new medical device that can be controlled by app. As well as it has demos. But not having success downloading it. had this happen with another app I tried to download recently. But that wasn’t so important so just quit trying. I’m on iPhone 14. I think latest iOS.

My iPhone apps are opening without touching screen How come on my 4 month old iPhone 15 are apps being accessed without me touching them?!?! They insist that nothing is wrong after remote access or running tests. I’ve reset my phone twice. I’m not doing that again and shouldn’t have to on a brand new phone. 🙄 I asked if they would let me return it since it’s newer and they won’t…. Am not impressed with this phone. I wish that I had not gotten it!!!!! [Edited by Moderator]

The app’s developers would have to add that feature. If you turn off Face ID and passcode and set the time before lock to never, it will stay on screen.

However, Apple Wallet and Apple Pay and banking apps and possibly others won’t work. Information stored on the device would be at risk.
