Really hoping there’s an easy fix for this, because it’s making using my phone a pain. Relevant info:

I never actually set up a fingerprint, and have only used passwords.

phone memory is almost full (I have too many photos I still haven’t offloaded, I don’t use iCloud)

I did drop the phone earlier today, but there was no visible external damage

case does not cover the home button

I’ve tried force restart, it didn’t work
