Is my home button busted?

I have no idea what happened but my home button feels different since yesterday.
I went in the settings and saw it's at its usual level 2, but when I tried level 1 and 3 i realized they're all exactly the same.
I have not dropped my phone.
My home button feels "hypermobile" if that makes any sense.
So far I haven't noticed any difference in how my phone works.
Has anyone run into anything similar?

A few days ago I was typing something on my 7 Plus and started feeling a certain "hollowness" so to speak around the bottom half of the screen. I am getting that same feeling now whenever I click the home button. I have a feeling there's something going on with the little tactile engine.

Try doing reboot (if you haven't) and if you did, then do a hard reset. Hold Sleep/Wake and Volume Down till screen turns off, then power back on.

Thanks. I just had a medical emergency so suddenly my phone is the last thing on my mind but I'll try that when the dust settles down.

I had major surgery on a moment's notice and more pain afterwards than I ever thought the human body could handle. But modern medicine being it's wonderful self, I am on the mend. This one will take time though, it was a major big deal.

Wow! Hope you heal up quickly! Ice cream always helps.

I'm so sorry to hear this, but and glad to know that you're on the mend. Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers!
