Alternatives to double click side-button on iPhone 14

My side-button on my iPhone 14 has stopped working. I’ve set up AssistiveTouch to lock the screen, take screenshots and use Applepay but to confirm a payment I need to double-click it, which I can’t do. I’ve tried to select side button confirmation with AssistiveTouch but you need to double click the side button to do it! Is there any other way to do this?

iPhone 14, iOS 18

Am no expert in this area, yet your request certainly deserves some response!

Wondering if this "User Tip" (link below) created by a well-respected community member may help:


"This information applies to iPhone X and later (any phone with Face ID)"

Double-Click side button usage for Apple … - Apple Community

eg: says: _______

"This user tip has two parts. Part one is for the Double-Click side button settings in Wallet & Apple Pay.

______

Part two is for turning off the Double-Click requirement when paying using Apple Pay.

Part two has two methods with multiple paths in settings which I have explained and provided photos for. (Assistive Touch)"


All the best :-)
