Yes, I have noticed this. I either touch the status bar and do a one finger double tap to bring focus to the first item, or I touch where it says the folder name and swipe right, or try the four finger tap near the top of the screen.

I have a large number of apps on my iPhone 12 Pro, 296 if I remember correctly, and the majority of them are placed in various folders. Recently, at least since IOS 15 was released, I've noticed that when I open a folder, VoiceOver focus is arbitrarily placed somewhere on the second or third row of apps in that folder and VO will announce the item that has focus. `If I want the first item in the top row of apps, I then have to find the heading for that folder and then flick right to get to the first item, which is okay because I'd probably do that anyway. My issue is with VO putting focus on an item that I have no intention of launching. Has anyone else noticed this, and, if so, what did you do about it? Thanks in aadvance.
