Hi,

If the double-click side button shortcut for Apple Pay is not working on your iPhone 17 Pro Max, you can resolve the issue by checking your settings, adjusting click speed, or restarting the device.

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting

  • Enable Double-Click Side Button: Go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay, and make sure Double-Click Side Button is turned on. If it is already on, try toggling it off, waiting about 10 seconds, and turning it back on to refresh the setting.
  • Verify an Active Card is Added: Double-clicking will not trigger the wallet screen if you do not have an active credit or debit card set up. Check the Wallet & Apple Pay menu to confirm at least one card is added and active (and make sure any required security codes or verification steps are completed).
  • Adjust Side Button Click Speed: If your clicks are not registering fast enough, go to Settings > Accessibility > Side Button and adjust the click speed to Slow or Slowest.
  • Remove Bulky Cases: A thick or poorly fitted phone case can physically obstruct the side button or interfere with rapid double-pressing; try removing the case temporarily to test.
  • Perform a Force Restart: Restart your iPhone 17 Pro Max to clear out any temporary system glitches preventing the shortcut from responding.
  • Update iOS: Check for pending software updates by going to Settings > General > Software Update
