The iPhone 6S Home Button Touch ID Works, but does not detect pressure

As a result of the drop, the screen of my 6S was working, but it would not turn on again when you locked it. I lifted it into the box like that and 1 year later I took it out of the box out of boredom and plugged it into the charger, it opened. I waited for the charge to be fully charged, and when I looked at it after it was full, it was working smoothly, just like the screen, but it didn't detect it when you pressed the home button, the fingerprint was working smoothly. I changed the device's battery and gave it to my father, and he still uses it. He's used a virtual keypad up to this time, but I'm surprised that his fingerprint works and the home button doesn't detect pressing. Has anyone had a problem like this before? I don't want to change the Home button, let's not spoil the employee fingerprint either.. thanks.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The 6 series uses a mechanical home button. Can you feel and hear it click? If you cannot the home button may have been damaged. If you can feel and hear it click you should try a replacement screen as this model has the home button cable integrated into the screen. Since the fingerprint ID is still working the screen would be the first part to replace and because of the age of the phone they can be purchased fairly cheap. The return to home function which you have lost is a simple circuit that activates by shorting the line to ground. However if you cannot hear and feel the home button click you would need a replacement home button which would mean losing touch ID.

The Home button is pressed and the "click" sound is heard. I will try it when I am suitable, thank you very much :)
