Can I jailbreak an 8 Plus with no home button. I saw thay on the 6 you need the home button to enter DFU and I was wondering if there is anything like that for the 8. I want to be able to use the iPhone X gestures instead of assistive touch

iPhone 7 and up doesn't have a physical home button, so technically no, you don't need it to Jailbreak. You have to use the volume down and power button to enter dfu mode to use checkra1n. Or you can just use unc0ver where you don't need any buttons to jailbreak lol
checkra1n doesn't require the home button, you use the power and volume buttons to put your device in recovery mode.
Well checkra1n does require a home button, just not for that device.
Tis what I meant but thank you for clarifying
unc0ver jailbreak I believe
<.< >.> <.< Soooo..... whuzzis roundular thingy I rest my thumb on to unlock my phone? I haz an 8plus. If I clicks it, my screen goes home. But hey, I dunno. But yea what they said, checkrain uses volume and power buttons.
My button is broken and I'm not paying full price for a screen replacement from Apple. That's why I'm asking

Uncover uses no buttons and checkrain uses power and vol down if I remember correctly. You should be ok.
Alright good to hear. Do you know of any exploits work on 13.7 by chance. I've heard mixed results
Haven’t tried yet but I’ve only heard checkrain will work and you have to select untested iOS versions for it to work..... in options section.
You don't enter dfu mode with the home button on iphone 8 plus since it does not have a physical home button. I think you use the volume down button in place of the home button.
