Home Button not working after iOS 17.0.1 update

To “support”: Why don’t you try fixing the software issue instead of giving us the same advice a Google search gives us? My phone was working perfectly fine until I foolishly updated to iOS 17. My phone was one and working when suddenly I got a notice saying the fingerprint ID was not supported on the device.

Hey there pentane,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.

If having issues with the Home button on your iPhone not working, check out the information in the following resource that can help with this specific issue: If a button or switch isn't working on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

1. Remove any protective films or cases that might block the button or switch.

2. Check for debris or dirt around the button or switch and clean with a soft cloth.

3. If the button or switch still isn't working, is damaged, or works intermittently, you can set up a repair: Set up an iPhone repair

If you need any additional help with looking into service options after going through the steps above, you can also reach out to Apple directly at this link here: Get Support - Apple
