Hi all,
I got a reply from Apple accessibility and actually, three taps is correct as
you have to tap it once to wake it up. Hope that clarifies it; it’s not a bug.

I see it more like Apple finds it’s spending too much time on social media etc;
wants to use it’s resources differently. Personally, I like having the presence
of companies I buy from on my social media so think this is a shame but we’ll
