Since this morning my phone’s home button haptic has occasionally been making a very loud clicking sound akin to flipping an old light switch. A restart fixes the issue but it appears again after a while. When this happens it is accompanied by audio issues, whatever is playing sounds tinny and ineligible, like static. I’m running IOS 16.0. Is this a software or hardware issue?
Hello ivayla99,
It sounds like this could be a potential hardware issue with the Home Button. We'd recommend updating to iOS 16.1 (the latest version) to see if the issue continues to occur: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If the clicking continues, then it would be best to have the iPhone inspected: iPhone Service & Repair - Apple Support
Check your warranty coverage here: Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support
Get prepared for your visit: Get your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch ready for service - Apple Support
Select 'Service' and search nearby for locations: Find Locations
They will inspect the device and provide you with a solution.
Wishing you well, take care.
