For your info, this happends to be a bug.
To get out just turn off voiceover and swipe left or right for another
page. Then turn voiceover back on.
I did a screen share and file send for that bug and still no fix for it
and a few more bugs, and that was when 18 first came out..

I do not experience such issues, have never been "stuck" in the app
library. Suggest you put some time in the Voiceover practice area that
Apple so kindly provided for us.

Hi Pete,
Well, I guess I’m glad I’m not the only one. :). I agree, it’s super
annoying! I think it has something to do with scrolling or swiping
gestures not stopping when they should. Because I’ve noticed a
related problem. Sometimes, when I swipe up to adjust music volume,
it keeps going until the volume is at 100%. This is easier to deal
with, you just turn the volume back down using the side buttons, but
it’s still kind of annoying. The one thing that seems to be
different about the App Library thing, is that it seems to happen
most often when I’m unlocking my phone. And yeah, it’s impossible to
exit the App Library when that happens. Sometimes, I’ve been able to
get out of the App Library by oping the app switcher, then going into
an app from there, and then exiting to my Home Screen, but that
doesn’t work all of the time. Maybe I will go ahead and send it to
Accessibility.
Cheers,
Donna

Donna,
This happens to me too, and it's driving me nuts! Only way I've
reliably found to get out of it is to restart the phone. You can ask
Siri: "hey siri, restart my device". She'll ask if you really want
to do it, you say yes, and the phone is back up in a few seconds
after you enter your pass code.

Hi all,
A weird thing has been happening for a while now. When I open my
phone, it takes me into my App library. I have no reason to be
there, and don’t want to be. This seems to be an IOS 18 thing.
Anyone else experiencing this? Or does anyone know how to stop it
or at least close the App Library? Once I’m in there, I can’t seem
to get out and back to my regular Home Screen.
TIA,
Donna
