Home Button not working.

I have an iPhone 8. My home button stopped working and it is stuck in an iMessage with a friend. I am unable to go to any other app, get out of the iMessage or go to the home screen. I tried calibrating the home button, and restarting my phone. Any ideas?

If you restarted the phone and the problem persists most likely it’s a hardware problem. You can try backing up the phone and restoring it to factory settings, but if that doesn’t fix it use the Contact Support link at the top of this page to arrange for a repair.
