Home Button Not Working

My home button won’t work. Are they any alternatives for a home button and why won’t it work?

Hi solaeeee,


Thanks again for using Apple Support Communities! We see you're looking for some help because your Home button isn't working, and we'd like to help out.


There is something which can help with some functions the Home button is needed for, AssistiveTouch. Check it out here:

Use AssistiveTouch on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Keep in mind, if you ever need to force restart, or restore your iPhone using Recovery Mode, you won't be able to use that feature to hold the Home button, which is required.


Here's information about iPhone Repair and Service


And, if you're located where the Apple Trade In program is available: Apple Trade In


Take care!
