Do you actually use the side button (friends button)?

Interesting I use it all the time I find it fast and easy to use. Never really considered going into the Message app and opening. I'd use siri before going to the App Home screen.

My main problem with using the button as a way to quickly access contacts is that it's not very quick. You have to press the button, then rotate the crown (or just press someone on the wheel), then tap the "phone" "touch" or "text" icon and only then do you start actually contacting that person. I feel they could've done a lot more to streamline this.

Only use it to take screen shots. I don't even use Siri. I have wondered why they added the button myself.

Haven't used it.
Sort of forgot about it.

Siri is much easier.

Would be great if you could use it as a hotkey to open up a specific app ie. workout

Haven't used that button. It need to be reassigned. I don't really use Apple Pay much.
