Assistive Touch button reappears by itself

Ok! I have an 8+ that had the screen and battery replaced, and unfortunately, the touch ID button was damaged. It was replaced with a generic one. Of course I know that I lost the touch ID function, but that's not the issue. The assistive Touch button reappears on it's own no matter what I do to stop it. It actually turns itself on in settings. How do you stop this? I have done everything I can find online already!

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 15

I totally know that! I just want to have my problem with the touch assistant go away.

Unfortunately, since you had the repair done by an unauthorized provider, your phone is no longer supportable by Apple.

Assistive touch is supposed to come on automatically if it detects a hardware problem with the home button, which is what’s happening.


The only way to fix this will be to get yourself a phone that has not been tampered with.
