iFixit:
In this video I give a tutorial on how to fix a home button that isn’t working on an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. This can be if your home button is being laggy, unresponsive or just totally dead. I show how to calibrate your home button, restarting to clear any iOS issues, using AssistiveTouch to give you a virtual home button or simply replacing the home button on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.
🤧Thank you so much!!!! I needed this. Ik I’m late but still!!😅
When an old video is a recommendation for you:
This was INCREDIBLY HELPFUL!!!! Thank you!
Accessibility worked. The damn button was just working a second ago. Damn it!
yo i found an old video of urs lol
What if I can't access the home screen in the first place?
no accessibility menu, at least not where you list it. I am using an iPod Touch 2nd gen, do you know if I have this option, and how to locate it?
My old, 4th-generation iPod's home button stopped working yesterday. I wasn't excited about having to buy a new iPod or bring this one somewhere to have it fixed. Then I came across your video and the brilliant idea (which I perhaps should have known about but had no clue) to enable AssistiveTouch. Thanks a bunch, Austin!
If you have an iPhone 3 you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. Assistive Touch and Switch Control are features in the Accessibility functions that are found in iOS 5 and later, which means there is no way to simulate the home button on your phone. Your only choices are to get the phone repaired, replaced, or upgrade to a newer model.
Hold my beer.
I can't even get into settings
OH MY GOD ITS AUSITN EVAN
Holy crap!! The calibration tip worked!!! 🙏🏽🥺
Who knew this would help me with my old ass ipod 8 years later
Mine is stuck like its dead
Ok! Never mind! It’s working now! Thanks man!
I dropped my iPhone 8 Plus in some water , it didn’t really have a reaction , just the home button. Be sound was fine , the screen was fine , but it so hard to press the home button and it’s hard too make it respond.
I ordered an iPhone 11 today and wanna know what broke on my iPhone 6 today?? Yeah my home screen. Coincidence??
lol
my home button was slightly not secure and would move a little after i got the screen replaced. i didn’t think much of it until a month later the home button wouldn’t work unless i pressed it at an angle. so i followed a different tutorial and it broke the home button completely :/
idk i dropped my phone and my home button got messed up
Thank you so so much!! You saved my day
Thanks for your advice it was very helpful
What if it's not froze it's just jammed down?..
Brilliant advice, my home button is broken but the on screen button works perfectly! Many thanks!
2019 anyone
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing I got home phone to work again 😎
My home button is loose
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I was wracking my brain about how to fix my home button issue, it totally busted, without shelling out a ton of money on a repair (for serious the only repair place around charges 100 dollars as a base price). This SAVED my sanity and my wallet.
