RussianQuestion
I restarted my iPhone 6 running iOS 10 and the home button is broken, so I was using Assistive Touch. But at the first launch, Assistive Touch is disabled. On iOS 10, we have to "Press home button to unlock". What can I do?
Solution
There is a way to unlock an iPhone running iOS 10 that has a broken home button and no access to Assistive Touch. Try the following:
- On your Lock Screen, swipe right.
- You should see the Search field at the top.
- Type Settings in the Search field.
- Your 'top hit' should be the Settings app. Tap on this.
- You should now get the Touch ID or Enter Passcode screen.
- Enter your passcode.
- You should now see your settings.
- Go to General -> Accessibility -> Assistive Touch and turn it on.
- Also, while your still in the Accessibility settings, scroll to and tap the Home Button setting
- Change the Click Speed and/or Rest Finger to Open settings to see if that also helps.
Good luck!
OTHER TIPS
I just had this problem. The fix is so simple. All you have to do is turn off your phone with the lock button and when it turns back on, it will be unlocked. Once you download your backup assistive touch will be reactivated.
- Shut down the phone
- Turn it on (don't put it down, don't blink:). If the screen gets locked start from 1 again)
- After the phone is setup go straight to configurations > general > accessibility > assistive touch > turn on
- Optional - set only 1 icon to display and make it home
My iPhone 6 got stuck on the "press home button to update". By using this guide and this software I downgraded my phone to iOS 9 with works with a broken home button.
If you connect the phone to iTunes on a mac you can turn on VoiceOver from the Accessibility Settings there, then double-tap on text and tap again to enter it.
