Side button confirmation not working on my iPhone

So I have a problem, the side button used to turn on and off the phone and confirm transactions don’t work anymore ( I can’t fix it for the moment).

I tried to bind the confirmation with assistive touch but to finish the activation I need to confirm it with a side button double click, next thing you know the button don’t work.


Is there another way to confirm that ?

You have two scenarios.

  1. Passcode required
  2. Double-click the side Button option


For Passcocde - See the pic below



Double Click Side Button

You may have enabled confirm with Assistive Touch instead of the Side button. Please see the pic below which is self-explanatory
