- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Go to General > Home button.
- Choose option 1, 2 or 3.
It is therefore only about setting the vibration strength of the home button yourself. It is not possible to set additional functions of the home button. You can, however, via Settings > General > Accessibility > Specify the activation button what to do when you press the home button three times in quick succession.
