We've had users tell us that they were tapping all over the screen and even trying to swipe the on-screen instructions over because it looked like the area to tap was hidden.

But when you think about what the word "click" means, things should become very clear. In the computing world, click is used to denote the action of pressing a mouse button.

It's an onomatopoeia, where the word takes after the sound it makes. On smartphones, it also means to operate a physical button or switch on the device, something that could make a "click" sound, even if it doesn't. Apple's on-screen instructions are right next to the Side button , so when the animation on the far right is moving, that's trying to get you to double-click on the Side button. So there's you're answer — "Double Click to Install" or "Double Click to Pay" simply means you need to press the Side button twice quickly.

I know a lot of people think of "click" as a "tap" or "press" on the screen, so maybe Apple will one day make the on-screen instructions a little more detailed. Perhaps "Double Click Side Button" would be enough. If you're double-clicking the Side button like you should be, or if the prompt isn't even coming up, there are few more things you can try to get it working properly.
