Home button not working anymore after falling in water

Hi! I fell into some water with my iPhone SE 2020 in hand. After first getting a message that the iPhone couldn’t charge due to water damage (so I unplugged the charger), a day later I can apparently safely charge it (the message doesn’t pop up anymore), but now my home button isn’t working anymore. I got a message that there was a problem with it, and iOS put a virtual home button on the screen. After restarting, the virtual home button is gone, as is the message, but the button still doesn’t work. It works for Touch ID and I can feel haptic feedback (is that what it’s called? I can feel the short vibrations under the home button), but the button itself is not clickable. Is there something I can do about this? I don’t think Apple will likely repair this? I do have some minor experience repairing my older iPhones, but since Touch ID came out I haven’t replaced a home button since I think this can’t be replaced?

Thank you for your help!

You can replace home button if you are willing to give up touch ID, however it is possible that the button is dirty and/or was shorted by the contact with water, try cleaning it with a 90% isopropyl alcohol and a dry, soft cloth. another option is a third-party software you can use for you to try on fixing your unresponsive home button such as FoneDog iOS System Recovery. This may fix the issue.

Hope This Helps :)
