Home button not working, but fingerprint sensor and double tap is still working. Home button doesn't work. Fingerprint sensor works fine, and double-tap on the home button works as well. It's Iphone8 Plus, so the button is not real. There's no physical damage on the phone. I'm fairly confident it must be software / IOS related or the fingerprint + doubletap wouldn't work. However no reset, restart etc. has fixed it so far. "Forced upgrade" to new model is the only available fix, maybe ;-) I have tried: Checking various settings (I may have missed some) Restart and forced restart Forced reset Reset to factory settings Btw, for other people with similar issues, there is a great guide here, that may help you. It didn't fix it in my case, though: How to Fix iPhone Home Button Not Working - YouTube If anyone find a fix, please let me know. Model: Iphone 8 Plus IOS: 16.7.10

What is happening when you’re trying to add a finger print?

Is the screen repaired with original parts or with third party parts? In the last case there is a change that the Touch ID button will not work

If the screen and button were replaced by anyone other than Apple or an authorized service provider, Touch ID will never work on that phone again. Apple won’t touch it now that it’s been tampered with.
