Hello, I’m on the Apple Intelligence Beta. Setting under Wallet for double click to Apple Pay is ON, however double clicking does not work.
Restarted phone, nothing. Double checked accessibility settings of side button, nothing. Confirmed not hardware issue as screenshot and Siri work from the button.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or any troubleshooting advice?

Hey, is it possible to bring up the Apple Pay menu with a shortcut? I can not stand the double lock button version, as it's ultra-slow. Every time I lock my phone, I always push something with my hand because the phone is waiting for the second click input.
With iOS 17, Apple introduced a new (hidden) feature called Transaction Triggers in the Shortcuts app. This feature allows you to automatically execute any shortcut after making a purchase using Apple Pay. While this feature may not be immediately obvious, it can be incredibly useful, especially for those who track their spending using third-party apps. In this tutorial, I'll walk you through the process of automatically adding Apple Pay transactions to third-party apps using this new shortcut.
Configuring this feature involves a few steps, but it's relatively straightforward. I'll illustrate this process using my own app, Budget Flow, but it should work with any expense tracking app that offers shortcut integration.
Here's how to set it up:
Create a new personal automation by opening the Shortcuts app and going to the "Automations" tab. Tap the "+" button to add a new automation and select "Transaction".
On the next screen, you can select the cards and categories that this automation will apply to. You can leave all options selected. However, at the bottom of the screen, select "Run Immediately" to avoid having to manually confirm it. Tap "Next" to continue.
You will then need to select "New Blank Automation" to create a new one. Inside this new automation, tap "Add Action", select the "Budget Flow" app, and choose the "Create transaction" shortcut.
To ensure that it receives the correct input, expand the shortcut by tapping the arrow button. You'll need to configure the shortcut according to your preferences, such as specifying the "Budget Book", "Account" or "Category" to use. Set the "Type" to "Expense" to add the new transactions as expenses by default. The most important step here is to configure the "Amount" field to use the input from the received transaction. Select the "Amount" field, tap "Select Variable", and choose "Shortcut Input".
Since we only want the amount of the received transaction, we need to tap "Shortcut Input" again to configure which part of it will be passed to the shortcut. You must select the "Amount" value here. Optionally, you can repeat this process for the "Notes" field to add the "Merchant" to the notes as well, if you wish.
Your automation is now properly configured. Simply tap "Done", and you're all set.
Now, every time you make a purchase with Apple Pay, the transaction is automatically added to the app! 🎉
