Hello and good day! I had been wondering how do I take off this Home button sticker without disassembling it or anything, could someone please help me in advance? Thank you and also please see attached photo.


FYI: Had been bugging me for years from when my sister had it.

Please tell me that's a screen protector. If not, then a sticker is the least of this iPad's problems. Speaking of stickers, I would try to use one to peel it off. Apply a corner to the sticker and gently pull up.

So I should use a paper something like that?

Turn it off, add a tiny bit of isopropyl alcohol (which you’d need to get your hands on first), and you should be able to peel it off. Wait some time before turning the iPad back on.

It has a screen protector but I think it got so sticky after sitting so many years.

Alright should I use a q-tip with it
Would be a good way to prevent using too much, but you can also use a cloth and dampen it a little with it. Just get the sticker “wet” somehow. But really, what kind of sticker is it? Is it laminated? Maybe a droplet of water will do the trick.
