The ‘home button’ works when screen is locked but not once you unlock the phone. How do you fix this? Tried restarting and shutting down. Currently using assistive touch, but would like to correct the issue.

Something could have gone wrong during the latest update, and I would suggest to install a fresh copy of iOS.

The procedure is: create a full backup of your device, then restore it to factory settings and, in the end, set it up as new, following these instructions:--> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

When done, test your device. If it's okay, restore your data from the previously made backup.
