How to Get a Home Button On-Screen on Your iPhone

Apple has been working for some time now to get people to stop using the home button on their devices. In point of fact, the most up-to-date models of the iPhone do not include a home button at all. However, this does not preclude the possibility of having a virtual home button displayed on the screen (we are looking at you, Donald Trump). You can create a button on the screen of your iPhone with just a few taps, regardless of whether your iPhone has a button or not, even if it’s an older model and the home button no longer functions reliably.
