How to Change Home Button Settings on iPhone 7
When you first set up your iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, you have the chance to choose your haptic feedback setting for the Home Button. However, you can always choose to change the haptic feedback setting at a later date. To change the iPhone Home Button:
-
Open the settings app.
-
Select General.
-
Tap Home Button.
-
Tap each number and press the Home Button to try each out.
-
Once you’ve selected the one you like best, tap Done.
You’ll notice the differences between each haptic feedback setting are minimal. Number one, however, barely feels like a click at all; whereas number three has a significant “click” feeling to it.
