Home button problem

Tricky one, my previous iPhone 6S had broken home bottom so I was using the one on the screen. I’ve bought a new iPhone SE and the bottom after backing up came out on the screen as per previous phone.


unfortunately the “accessibility” option in general setting is not longer there, how can I get rid of it?

iPhone SE, iOS 13

it is not in Settings, General any more. It is in Settings, Accessibility. I just used it!

Make sure you hit "more" to see my full post.


The other phone being on is not relevant. Turn it off in Settings, General, Shutdown, but it may be difficult to turn it on again

Some people want their social networking history. I just clear it out every few weeks as chit-chat junk taking GBs of space.


For me, having regularly imported photos to the Mac, and keeping all music on the Mac, and all documents in the cloud, I prefer to set up a new phone from scratch and reinstall apps as I need them.

Could be the Accessibility Shortcut is turned on for Assistive Touch.

On my iphone 7 with iOS13.4.1 that is in Settings, Accessibility, Accessibility Shortcut . Turn off Assistive Touch on those options.

If you cannot turn off Assistive Touch there you could try a triple click of the Home button to turn off the on screen button. It is not a Home Button but an access panel containing the Home Button.

I cannot show a screenshot of my the virtual button itseld as it will not show up.
