Your profile states that you have an iPhone 13 Mini. There is no physical Home Button on an iPhone 13 Mini. I have obviously not understood your question. Can you provide more details around your question with some clarity? Thanks.

Hi wende210 is asking about the "virtual home button" which is an onscreen replacement of the old home button offered as an accessibility feature. It is basically a white dot you can move about on the screen. I too noticed that it is stuck. After a brief google fest I saw no useful information on the internet...and decide ye old "pull the plug" effective on every Mac desktop I have every had might be in order. Wende if you click your virtual home button and then press "device", you will get a secondary screen, then press "more" (three dots) to get to a tertiary screen. Then press "restart". Alternatively if you have restart mapped to the right bezel button you can restart that way. This is what worked for me. Sorry for the long paragraph I notice when chatting with apple techs that they don't fully document the breadcrumbs, working with folks that rely on accessibility features for 30 years I know that every step and button guides are kind of "the minimum" for the community. I hope this is helpful, we will see how this shakes out. This is a bug not an "undocumented feature" hopefully Apple will fix. Cheers, Freddie.
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch, and switch the AssistiveTouch off and on. Voilà, the home button moves!
Interesting, that didn't work for me...thanks.
Thank you apple-cestmoi, that combination worked. My home button is now free to move about my phone.
I‘m glad!
I had the same problem. I tried for ages to move it. This is a glitch after iOS 16 I think. I turned assistive touch off and back on again and I am able to move the home button Again now.
