After updating my iPhone 15 to iOS 27, the AssistiveTouch button no longer works to confirm Apple Pay payments or other actions that require confirmation through AssistiveTouch.
I normally use the following sequence:
Long-press the AssistiveTouch button to open Apple Pay. After Apple Pay opens, use the same long-press gesture on AssistiveTouch to confirm the payment.
Before updating to iOS 27, this worked normally.
When navigating through the AssistiveTouch menu step by step, the behavior seems to indicate that the Apple Pay action is supposed to be followed by the AssistiveTouch confirmation action. However, on my device, after Apple Pay opens, the AssistiveTouch button no longer performs the confirmation action. It seems as if the long-press gesture is no longer being recognized for the confirmation step.
This is particularly noticeable because the Apple Pay interface opens correctly, but there is no response when I perform the same long-press gesture that previously confirmed the payment.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior on iOS 27? Could this be a bug or an intentional change in how AssistiveTouch handles Apple Pay confirmation?
