iPhone SE 2020 Home button

Hey all -


Recently (as of last night) my iPhone SE 2020 home button function and haptic have given out. I’ve resorted to assistive touch. I have already updated to the latest update, and have tried cleaning it by gently dabbing it with water on a q-tip.


Let me know if there are any options for me to fix it without bringing it in, because spending money doesn’t sound necessary for this sort of repair.


Thanks!

iPhone SE, iOS 16

See this support article about that problem:--> If a button or switch isn't working on your iPhone or iPad


Of course you can survive using Assistive Touch, but remember that you'll loose some functions (i.e. physical button sequences that must be used to perform system recovery actions, and/or reset a forgotten device passcode, etc).
