Is it possible for my home button to be loose on my iPhone 7? Sometimes when I click it. It feels like it's loose.
Got a tip for us?

There is no home button. Its imitation and just vibrates when you press there.
This was probably a joke post.
On my iPhone 7, the headphone jack is loose.

Turn off the phone. Check to see if it's loose then, it's the only way to find out if it's really loose and if so then the screw is not tight.
Power down the iPhone, and see if you experience the same issue. It's a solid piece so I think it's your imagination
Agreed. Powering down the iPhone should be a troubleshooting spot to determine if it's lose. It shouldn't have any play at all.
I don't think it's going anywhere. Earlier this week I tried to push the home button with the power off for the first time and was reminded that IT'S A PHONY, A BIG FAT PHONY! It was like pressing on the back of the phone.
If you can move the "button" in some way, especially with it off and the haptic feedback off, I'm not sure what that would be. Best to take it to a Genius.

Turn it clockwise to tighten, remember: right-tighty, lefty-loosey.
I changed the settings for the home button now it doesn't feel like its loose. And yea I had the 7 not the 6s
I have the same situation. When the phone is ON, it feels loose, when its off, nothing. How exactly did you change the settings?
Power your phone completely off. Then poke around the button (the haptics won't react with the power off). Does it feel loose then? If so, definitely take it into the store. The home button should have the tiniest bit of give as it is indeed a separate part, but it's mounted firmly in place and shouldn't have any looseness at all to it.
There’s no home button or moving parts to it. What you’re describing would have to be a problem with haptics. It’s all solid state hence why no feedback when powered off.
Though there is no home button, so it’s no loose.. HOWEVER the phone puffs out a little bit of air & vibration and the piece that it pushes up against behind where you put your finger, CAN be loose

Damn it Kathryn, this is an old thread!
You should have known better.
