Unfortunately, it is not possible to use swipe gestures on iPhones with TouchID, but you can create a virtual home button with AssistiveTouch.


Go to:

Settings -> Accessibility -> Touch -> AssistiveTouch. Turn on AssistiveTouch


You can read here how to set up and use AssistiveTouch:

Was it changed by a qualified technician using a genuine iPhone battery?...

And you didn't answer my second question. To be clearer, this icon is the Settings app:



...Tap it to open Settings app. Then scroll down to Battery and tap it. Then tap Battery Health and tell us what the Maximum Capacity % is. If its value is only "––", let us know that.

And presumably you haven't been trained to do that. As Apple states: "...only a trained technician should replace an iPhone battery. Repairs performed by untrained individuals using nongenuine parts might affect the safety of the device or might cause improper function." Source:

...So it appears that you have caused your Home button to improperly function.
