Hi! Is the whole home button not working? Or is it just Touch ID. In either case, restarting the phone using the force restart method could help:


  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.

If that doesn't help, I recommend scheduling an appointment with the Genius Bar to see if they have any leads. You can do that here: https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=arshw
