Aftermarket home buttons typically do not function on the iPhone 7/7+/8/8+. If you use JC or HX home buttons you should be able to regain home button functionality, but Touch ID will be unavailable.

Hope this helps!

So where can I buy these JC or HX home buttons? Can anyone tell me please.

You mean the original replacement home buttons right?

Aftermarket ones like you've mentioned will work.

@benjamen50 They will lose the touch ID with a third party button, right?

That is correct, they will retain basic home functionality but with touch ID function lost.
