I have to press the Home button really hard to get it to respond, and sometimes even that doesn’t work. Is it permanently broken? Is there a fix? iPhone Home button not working?

You may not be able to bring back a physical home button (unless you buy the iPhone SE), but you can customize a virtual one that moves around the screen and customized to meet your needs.

There are a couple reasons why the Home button on your older iPad might stop working. Here are several methods you can use to try to fix it.
