Double Click Turns off iPhoneX Instead of Paying

iPhone X now Running iOS 12.0.1 (but issue has always been present for the year I've had the phone)


The touch pay function on my new iPhone X is totally cool, and more and more merchants are supporting it. However, one issue: about a 1/3 of the time when I double click to tell the phone to activate facial recognition as the final step in approving the payment, the phone turns off rather than activating facial recognition. How may I fix this? Thank you!!!

macOS High Sierra (10.13)

Thanks much for taking the time to weigh in!!!


Have done the restart to no avail. My guess (but it's just a guess) is that it has to do with difficulty pushing the button twice quickly cuz it's in an Otterbox case. Short of taking the case off and losing the protection, is there a way to work around this? Is there a way to use some other method of activating facial recognition that would be more reliable?
