Wallet from lockscreen trouble?

Anyone else having issues getting wallet to pull up on the lock screen with the double click? I checked to make sure I had it enabled. Then I thought the ID was recognizing too quickly but even double clicking with an unregistered finger won't pull it up.

It may sound weird but have you tried rebooting your device?
It found out it resolved a LOT of issues =P

I actually have the instructions for performing a hard reset programmed into my phone in keyboard text replacement so I don't have to keep typing it.:laughing:

Hello! For me bringing up Wallet from the lockscreen has been finicky at best. I really appreciate the responsiveness of the new Touch ID sensor but I think it's actually too responsive and makes reading anything on my lockscreen nearly impossible. Many have suggested using a finger that isn't programmed into Touch ID so the phone doesn't unlock. To me it's just awkward.

The non registered finger thing didn't even work for me lol

It sometimes works for me. If I'm being honest, I usually just unlock my phone and go to the Wallet app from the homescreen. To me it's actually easier.

Unlock your phone with the standby button and then a double press and your good to go.
The problem is the double press for Wallet needs to be done while the phone is locked. Even if you wake your phone up with the standby button, it's still difficult to double tap the home button to bring up Wallet without unlocking the phone and going to the homescreen instead.

I haven't had any problems with the double click myself. Just be dedicated and hit it twice quickly and you are good to go.

You must be a ninja with your home button because I cannot seem to outrun mine

Doesn't work for me. Hasn't since around the time the 6s was released, so I'm wondering if it's an iOS 9 issue.

I haven't had any issues. I just use the part of my thumb that's not registered & it works every time.
