[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1952123, member: 204485"] I would suggest, although there may be a simpler answer that you simply Reset All Contents and Settings. It's very difficult to check all the settings on an iPhone remotely so short of you taking it to an Apple Store Resetting All Contents and Settings is what I would do. This is not as bad as it sounds because all of your apps will reload from the App Store and all your Mail, contacts, notes, calendars, reminders ect will be restored from iCloud. Initially after erasure all you need to do is Login to your Apple account and the rest will happen automatically. It will take a while but the result will be much the same as a new iPhone. All of your settings will return to default states. So, assuming the "virtual" Home button was one of them it should return to the physical button. You will need to re record your finger print, re enter third party email accounts and login afresh to those apps that require logins and setup Apple Pay for your iCloud account. Beleive me I've done this a few times and although you wont have to do it all in one day it does take a few hours. It is a good learning ecperience though and will refamiliarise you with all your old settings as well as new current options. The other option is after erasure to restore your iPhone from your iCloud Backup if you have one. iCloud backups are encrypted so retain a lot of your personal data and preferences but they take a long time to complete and may not fix your probem as Assistive Touch may be retored too dependent on how old the iCloud Backup is. I do an update to mine every night. Obviously the easy way is to take it to an Apple Genius bar if thats an option for you. They may do the same as I have suggested anyway but you wont have to do it.🤷♂️ [/QUOTE]
