How to Use Your iPhone With a Broken Home Button

In this video I'll show you how to use your iPhone when the home is broken or not responding. We got this iPhone as a replacement for one that failed under warranty. unfortunately the home button and Wi-Fi on this one are not functional so we took this opportunity to create a tutorial for anyone out there who can't use their phone due to a broken home button. Whether you are stuck on the activation screen or locked out of your phone because of a broken home button this video will show you a workaround. If your phone has a pass code just enter it after you tap on the virtual home button created through the assistive touch options in your settings menu.

Thank you for the video. My 9-year-old's iPad mini home button was broken and he was upset. I didn't want to have to replace it and repairing it would probably have cost so much as to not be worth it. I used this accessibility setting and he is happy again. I had no idea that was on there. Thank for posting this video!!!

Theresa faster method if you dont have a home button and u need to pass the lock screen and u have a passcode then just press the power off button and to get to the passcoe thing the swipe up agaist the edge of the screen where the home botton should be and there sould be three dots i think but thats nkt important and ya

The first attempt I didn’t know I had to turn it off and on immediately so when I tried again it finally worked.🥳 And I want to say thank you for this video I can finally give the phone to my sister😊❤️

[@MrCowery]

For anyone who is trying on a later version disable Touch ID first

[@almondred_]

GUYS I HAVE A PASSWORD I CANT SWIPE RIGHT WHAT SHOULD I DO

[@chewits5805]

Thanks man such a big help!

[@TheRitmanis]

Thanks, really great method. Good way to make use of the phone after breaking the home button. What's cool is, you can even set it to do "Home" action on single tap so you don't have the extra step of opening menu and then navigating to home.

[@effq1]

Would appreciate if you could elaborate on it

[@EkasWalia]

Thanks a lot bro

[@macx1361]

im im tears i wa hoping it would work knowing the risk if i shut if off i would have to reset it again which took like 2-3 days to do so and now i have to do it again ill have to pray it works next time or not. UPDATE:my phone is back on the 'Hello' Screen :)

[@Jay-jr8vd]

Thanks soooo much I forgot about that feature

[@roleplayers2885]

Sorry my friend but this video expired

[@kamrinalexis9938]

It keeps going back to the hello screen

[@KaydenPWilliams]

My power button is broken aswell

[@AdrianPaulDiongzon]

when it turns to the part where it says "Connect to Itunes", do you click on something on the computer or just leave it until it goes to the Touch ID section?

[@tinotaulago313]

Man thank you. you save my iPhone
