The Home button on your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus is an advanced solid-state button that Apple designed to be durable, responsive, and pressure sensitive. Working with the new Taptic Engine, the Home button gives you haptic feedback when you press it.
Choose your click
You can change the haptic feedback that you get when you use the Home button at Settings > General > Home Button.
You might notice the haptic feedback more when you're holding your iPhone rather than while it's lying on a table.

If the Home button doesn't respond as you expect, make sure that your hands are clean and dry and remove any case or protective film that covers the Home button. Lift your iPhone or press the Sleep/Wake button to wake it.
Your iPhone uses capacitive sensing technology on both the Multi-Touch display and the Home button. You should be able to use the Home button with gloves that work with the Multi-Touch display.
