Can an iPhone 7 home button have it's glass replaced?
I have an iPhone 7 with a badly cracked home button, but it still functions, so it works to go to the home menu. Can I replace the glass only?
Is this a good question?

It is not possible to replace just the face of the button as the sensor chip is fused with the face crystal.

If you already don’t have the touch ID working, you can replace it with a bluetooth return to home button. They are not great quality but they work. AFAIK the original home glass button can’t be replaced.

I actually saw these home buttons on AliExpress that said they don't require bluetooth, called the YF Home button. I may try that. I don't know if the touchid works because I don't have the phone in hand yet, but I don't want to get a bluetooth home button because I heard they emulate a bluetooth keyboard, so the keyboard takes extra time to pop up on screen. The stock home button isnt too cracked, so if anything ill just continue to use it.
