iPhone X Single press of Side Button registering as double press (Apple Pay)

[Alfieg]

Anyone else getting an occasional issue where a single press of the side button registers as a double press and activates Apple Pay?

I'm not sure if it's a software or mechanical issue but it's annoying. I'd say it happens about 1 in 20 times(ish)

Happened the second time I downloaded an app. I assumed it has registered a double click in the button as opposed to software. Interesting...

This is different as it happens at times well away from a payment scenario. I press once to sleep or wake the device and it goes straight to apple pay. Driving me nuts. I was hoping it was software but must be a hardware issue or others would be experiencing the same thing.

Same issue here... hopefully it’s a software issue fixed in 11.2. Love my iPhone X but this issue is annoying.

I’ve now realised its not bringing up Apple Pay, it’s bringing up the wallet and asking me to double click to pay. The only other way I can replicate it is with the wallet as found when opening it from control centre. Just before it says double click to pay the Face ID icon shows up for a millisecond but makes no attempt to authenticate. I can’t believe more people aren’t experiencing this bug, it’s driving me mad!

Never seen this. Could be a hardware defect.

I thought that initially but It’s software because it’s not Apple Pay it brings up, its something else.

I’m just wondering if there is a button issue with some devices. On another thread someone had a similar complaint when trying to lock and unlock their phone.

Got a link?

I’ve also noticed this. It has happened a couple time when I hit the power button. But like others have said, it’s not the usual Apple Pay double press action. It’s telling you to double tap the button as opposed to scanning your face immediately.
This tells me it’s software related.

This is still happening in 11.2

Anyone else? It sometimes doesn't happen for a whole day, then it will happen 10 times in a day or 5 in an hour. I can find no trend or pattern to it.

So annoying!

Still happening in the latest public beta. Driving me mental! Some days it will happen once or twice and others it happens continuously. Still no trend or cause found.

I can't be the only person with this bug surely!?
