S25 Double Press Side Button Doesn't Work

[SC489]

All is working on my new S25 but nothing happens when I double press the side button. One press locks / unlocks the phone, a long press opens Bixby but the double press does nothing whatever action I assign. Is this a system bug since a Google search shows a few people have this problem?

It means your volume button not your power button

No I'm discussing the side button below the volume buttons which only control the volume

Hello 👋 @SC489 

First turn the phone Off and On i.e a Soft Reboot, but if that does not help then follow this by trying a forced reboot by holding down the volume down key and power button simultaneously for more than 7 seconds to restart it. When your phone resets, you will feel it vibrate.

Oh I'd say it probably is a system problem then

The forced reboot worked! Give yourself a gold star from me.  I noted a very quick double press is needed.
