How to Recalibrate Your Laggy iOS Device Home Button

There are times when your Home button on your iOS device seems a bit laggy right? well, fear not, there is actually a way to recalibrate it, thanks to the guys at iDownloadBlog.  To do so, follow the following instructions -

Step 1: Open a stock app, like Weather or Stocks.

Step 2: Press and hold your power button until “slide to power off” appears and release.

Step 3: Press and hold your Home button until the “slide to power off” goes away, and the app force quits. Your iPhone’s Home button should now be more responsive, because it has been recalibrated.

Hope this helps.
