How do i get my home button to take me to the home screen again on my s7 edge?

[dguyer12]

I did the software update and my home button started bringing up google asst. I turned that off and now my home button does nothing. Its really annoying to have to jit back button a million times to get out of anything.

A short press on the home key will take you 'home'. A long press goes to Assistant. I would assume you turned off the wrong thing if the button no longer works as all.

I never hold the home button down. I just press it and it was going to google assistant. I turned off google assistant specifically and nothing else.

Also both long press and short press take me to google assistant...i just turned google assistant back on.

both long press and short press

Try clearing the system cache, that helps with obscure problems after updates. If that doesn't work than you may have a partial button failure.

I was able to do the system clear cache but the instructions to do the app clear cache are not matching to the options available in my phone.

Clearing the system cache did that. Did that help at all?
