Hello there,


Your home button (assuming it’s a IPhone 5c +) replaced by assistive touch will do the usual things of closing apps and going to dock bar. However, it is not substitute for the Touch ID, meaning your will have to use your passcode to unlock your phone and use Apple Pay etc.


Hope this helps!
