Lost iphone home button? Broke it off by accident? Now what?

Please help. Can i buy one and put it back on some way or? I don't know its really annoyed me.

Go to the apple store if not then browse around mobile phone repairs in your area

You could simply just have an onscreen home button.

Open settings >> General >> Accessibility >> Assisstive touch >> "on"

Hope i helped.

You COULD buy one but that would be expensive (well, free if you have warranty). If you are in an app restart your device so it gets out of the app. Now go to settings>general>accessibility>… Touch. Turn it on. Now you have an on-screen home button! If you are on a jailbreak, you can get a free tweak called "MyAssistive" which can turn the button into a true home button instead of when you normally click it, it gives you 5 options: volume, lock device, home button, etc. Hope this helps!

Sorry to hear that.

I'm afraid the cables behind have been broken so you can't simply put it back on.

You may use 'Assistive Touch' as a makeshift. But get a new home button to replace the broken one if you can. A home button is like 2 to 3 bucks from online stores.

  • My iphone 5 on/off button's broke? And it's freaking annoying, i have to use that dot thing from settings. The button rarely works, I've had my phone for less then a year… Doesn't apple have a one year warranty?
  • My Home Button on my IPhone 6S broke can I fix it? I tried to press the home button to close out of a app and it didn't work no matter what I did It's getting very annoying to switch out of apps and I had to disable timing out so it wouldn't lock me out
  • My home button broke on my iPhone 5? I ordered my new iPhone 5 on November 2 and it came in on the 7th… A couple of days after my home button broke stopped working… I didn't get it wet are anything just one day it stopped. Now being I just spent alot of money to buy one I'm not able to buy another one but can't do nothing with my phone bc of home button. Will the apple store charge me to replace it or no?
  • Lock button broke on IPhone. How can I get it to turn on if it turns off? I dropped my phone one time after having it for a year and a half. Has hardly any scratches on it but the one time I drop it my lock button collapses. If my phone turns off is there a way to get it back on? I'm asking because I know someone who had this happen and I think I remember she could get it back on if she connected a charger. Is this true?
